with learning disabilities or significant identifiable emotional or
behavior disorders."

each child to demonstrate the child's current positioning, exercise,
and communication objectives and also the direction and handling skills
needed by parents to help the children attain these objectives."
- Photography
for Language Use and Awareness- "In the process, the students
gained self-confidence and pride in their accomplishments; increased
their communications skills; came to better understand connections between
visual, written, and spoken components of language; and developed more
positive attitudes toward academic assignments as a result of their
successes."

in the Language Development of Deaf Children- "Language and
reading lessons were intended to become more exciting and relevant as

then used the photographs in learning activities involving how to categorize
nouns and verbs, compose sentences, and diagram simple sentences."
