OT What was your earliest memory?

Sorry about the 'cognitive disruptions' whatever their cause. And I
wonder if learning a right-brained language like ASL might actually
-help- with that, by giving you alternative paths and terms to think
in?

I haven't been tested, but during one of my college stints, it was
suspected that I had a learning disability that would contribute to my
inability to learn a foreign language. Now, I have some 'cognitive
disruptions' as the result of what may or may not have been a stroke
that I did or didn't have about 18 months ago. The Disable Student
Services Office actually suggested that I try ASL to meet my foreign
language requirement.

It's kind of like a verbal dance. I'm really excited about learning
ASL.

Glad to hear it. Sometimes a change of approach breaks through one's
original difficulties.
