Welcome to Riley Vodicka's Resource Rainbow!

Description: This mobile dictionary is available for purchase on the app store and allows the user to view a video dictionary of ASL. It helps users understand the grammar behind signs and shows the appropriate facial expressions for a variety of signs. I recommend this app as it allows users the ability to have an easy to use ASL dictionary in the palm of your hands.
Creator of Site: American Society for Deaf Children
Description: This website gives families access to a variety of different resources for working with their deaf or hard of hearing youth. It also offers classes and conferences for learning ASL and understanding Deaf culture. I recommend this website as the organization is expansive and is a great place for families to start their journey by finding resources and communities to be involved in.
Creator of Site: ASL Kids
Description: This website offers a variety of articles regarding ASL, Deaf culture, cochlear implants and more. It also offers apps and resources for learning and teaching ASL. I recommend this website as it offers a variety of digital and physical articles and resources relevant to parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Creator of Site: Phonak
Description: This website is for a hearing aid company, but provides valuable resources. These resources include what different types of hearing aids are good for, where you can find a provider of Phonak hearing aids, and it also describes signs of hearing loss and where you can get your ears tested. I recommend this website as it is a great resource to help inform individuals who are looking into getting hearing aids.
Creator of Site: Signing Time Foundation
Description: This website is built for parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing. It is meant to provide them with resources and encourage them to learn ASL as well as connect them to communities of other parents. I recommend this website as I believe it helps to ease the worries of parents with children who are deaf or hard of hearing and helps to provide a support system for them as they help teach their child and watch them grow.
