ASL Interpretation
Classroom interpreting is more than just knowing how to sign competently. Interpreters must process language quickly and accurately, and they must think about spoken English and sign language simultaneously. Interpreting is also about being able to support the educational goals and outcomes as defined by the student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP).
Interpreting for children and youth is different than interpreting for adults. Childhood and adolescence involves development in many important domains – cognitive, social, and linguistic. Schools foster many forms of development, not just learning classroom content. The ASL Interpreter not only provides interpretation services, but is also a role model and language model.

April Dunn Act
April Dunn Act
Act 833 was officially renamed The April Dunn Act to honor April Dunn in her advocacy of students with exceptionalities in the State of Louisiana.
April Dunn Act eligibility stems from unsuccessful attempts at end-of-year/course LEAP and LEAP 2025 assessments. Understanding that some students may have difficulties with the testing or testing environment, performance based assessments may be used to determine proficiency of course material. This successful demonstration can be used to prevent retesting in areas of disability for qualifying students with an IEP.
For more information, consult the Louisiana Parent Guide to April Dunn or call your Cadet's grade level Special Educator.
