I ran across this article today about a teacher for the Deaf here in Pennsylvania who is reaching out in her community to teach others how to communicate with ASL. She has found teaching her own hearing children has many benefits. More and more parents are giving their children the gift of communication with ASL. I love reading what she is doing to reach her community and that she is also a part of an organization near and dear to my own heart, Signing Time Academy. Read her wonderful story here: http://foresthills-regentsquare.patch.com/articles/school-for-the-deaf-teacher-spreads-sign-language-at-breckenridge-highlands
I look forward to seeing more articles like this, not just in the U.S. but all around the world.
Raised on the Southern Oregon Coast, now retired on the Southern Oregon Coast. I was a hard of hearing child who grew up to be a deafened adult. I share and write about deafness, hearing loss and other things I find interesting. I am a 50 something year old woman who could be anyone's mother, grandmother or friend. I've traveled the U.S., and I've lived in Europe. I'm currently residing near the beach with Fabulous Husband and 11 year old son. ~ Joyce Edmiston
