Thanks for these!
I am sorry to hear about your PC, Joel and trust that it is in better
health now!
Chris: sorry.....I forgot to say that the student doesn't sign (my
caffeine buzz hadn't hit when I was writing the original post!!).
Nonetheless, it's a very useful site, which will be very helpful to a
couple of other students here.

Daniel,
There is a wonderful wbsite for Deaf learners which gives art
definitions and signs the word. I'm afraid my PC died a while ago and I
lost the URL - other members may know of it - my vague recollection was
a name like art through touch, but couldn't find it via Google.

Hello.
I need to recommend a multimedia CD-rom or multimedia DVD based
dictionary
or encyclopedia for a student. They experience severe hearing
loss and are
having difficulty picking up all the new terminology and names
that they
need to learn for their Art History.
It would be ideal if the dictionary was heavily illustrated, as
the student
has difficulty putting the new terms she has read in context
(she tends to
forget them or not take them in at all). She is also a very
visual thinker,
so I think if she could associate the words with a picture, the
issue would
be solved.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can advise me of a reliable
recommendation.
