I'm a grad student in a deaf and hard of hearing program, and I was just assigned a paper on deafness and another disability (I chose Autism). I, like many of you, am having an extremely difficult time finding information on students that are deaf AND autistic. If any of you could offer me any personal experiences with theories in which they learn most efficiently, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you so much.
Also, if anyone could e-mail me with any sites that might be helpful, that would be wonderful. Thanks again.
