Society for American Sign Language Journal Jody H Cripps

The bi-yearly publication of SASLJ provides a platform that imparts and shares knowledge that is socially conscious and sensitive towards promoting ASL as a human language. Linguistic principles are valued for understanding the signed language's aesthetics and role in literacy development, learning, and use. The journal strives towards the validation and expansion of linguistic accessibility. SASLJ's scope and forum include theory, policy, and practice considerations, as well as addressing how an alternative language modality fulfills the needs and well-being of all citizens in society.
