[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sign language is not accepted by many colleges as a foreign language credit.  Proceed with caution on that choice if you are trying to be tactical.  (Not making a value judgment just in the same boat).  Jemicy school in Baltimore clued us into this fact.  They offer Spanish.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but I disagree with this. My DS took ASL and was accepted to many top 50 ranked schools. Once they understood that ASL fulfilled the foreign language requirement in Maryland to graduate from high school, they had no issue with it. In addition, we already knew that many schools accepted it including the UMD College Park, Northeastern University and Tulane. My advice to parents is to speak with the admissions rep and find out if they will accept ASL for Admissions. If the college has a foreign language requirement to graduate, ask if they ever extend waivers. Mine got one and will be able to satisfy the foreign language requirement by taking several cultural based classes for French (it could have been Spanish, etc.).[/quote]
