ASL Technical & Specialized Vocabulary Resource Dictionary 
The Technical & Specialized Vocabulary ASL Dictionary offers a way to deal with a wide spectrum of topic areas that interpreters are faced with everyday. Rather than offer these in alphabetical order, like most dictionaries, hypermedia allows interpreters to learn vocabulary in the order needed, according to what challenges their assignments give them. Few people would think of a dictionary as a professional development vehicle, but by selecting assignments, learning through the classroom and doing selective homework, the interpreter can build understanding and vocabulary simultaneously. The dictionary is set up in major categories and further subdivided into categories making navigation as simple as point and click and each entry shows the author as the sign model for that term.

Autism-how-to 
The purpose of autism-how-to.com is to provide a series of step-by-step guides for teaching important skills and behaviors to individuals with autism and related disorders. Throughout our professional involvement, we have observed the many challenges encountered in meeting the pervasive needs of people with autism spectrum disorders. A variety of treatment approaches have emerged over the years, some of which have proven effective, while others unfortunately, have not. Through our “hands on” experience what we have found to be the most effective intervention for individuals with autism spectrum disorders is good, sound teaching utilizing the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). This teaching can occur with anyone involved in the child’s life. Parents, siblings, extended family members, educators, therapists, and friends can be, and often are, excellent teachers given the proper tools and resources.
