When I attended school at Gilbert High School, we created a homepage where we had to link various sites; however, it was a different program, and I don't really recall exactly what we did, so this should be interesting.

My Interests:

I have always been interested in the field of forensic science, so I decided to take one of the classes this summer; it was a lot of fun. So, it is for this reason that two of my favorite sites include Crime Library and Crime TV.

Also, on Fridays, I usually find time to watch
my favorite tv show I recorded from the night
before. This, of course, is Friends.

Finally, a site I check out sometimes is E-Bay.
My father bought his baby, a '66 Mustang, from
this site.

Discipline Specific "Stuff":

I am currently a senior at Marshall University . I am in the Department of Communication Disorders. This summer, I am taking CD 315, an internet class, and it has entailed of a lot of time & energy but has been fun.

ASHA's mission is to ensure that all people with speech, language, and hearing disorders have access to quality services to help them communicate effectively. On this site you will find information to help you understand communication and communication disorders as well as a referral service, so you can get access to qualified professionals.

Another site that provides pointers to where you can find information in the field of Speech Language Pathology is the Speech and Pathology Web Sites page. This site is very informative, including information that it general to organizations, etc. opposed to providing the information itself.

One of the things I have enjoyed about this field of study was the sign language classes. Currently, I am teaching a client to sign, so she will be able to communicate more effectively with a deaf man that goes to her church. It is for these reasons, I have really enjoyed the American Sign Language site.

Research Resources:

I have chosen Asperger's Syndrome for my MRP. The following resourcing have been very informative sites to obtain information for my project:
