[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has no aptitude for languages and was excused with a diagnosis after 2 years in HS. That did in fact limit her options for some colleges that require 3-4 years of language (William & Mary, U of Richmond are two, and there were others I can't recall). Interestingly she ended up at a college that does have a language requirement, no exceptions, so she will need to take ASL at some point. As colleges develop requirements that respond to the global economy the language requirement seems to have become more important. Of course I am not sure how ASL will help in the global economy but it does meet the requirement.[/quote] Can you say what the particular diagnosis is? We've had lots of testing, but I don't remember any of the tests being indicative of learning a foreign language. Ignorant question, perhaps, but does ASL use different parts of the brain than Spanish? [/quote]
