He could tell me if he was "hungry" or "thirsty" or wanted "milk" or "juice". :-) Sign Language builds communication skills, reading skills, and IQ in young children, just to name a few benefits. <br />Thanks for stopping by and posting!Xpressive Handzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002398180587845394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199689129452310161.post-54071180641484791172012-11-21T00:38:16.258-05:002012-11-21T00:38:16.258-05:00Did you know that your child’s ability to get and ...Did you know that your child’s ability to get and store information is present even at the tender age?

A number of DEAF feel it makes deaf look silly if an hearing terp overdoes the facial aspect, and it is this over-egging of the facial part of signing, that people home in on, as none understand the sign and MIS-understand the exaggerated face-pulling that some terps use. I tuts ME off at times.. The quick 'paradoy' that went online straight after, was in fact drawing attention to that aspect. I don't know enough ASL to really criticise,but the facials DID look OTT at times.mervynjames224https://www.blogger.com/profile/06689615164654187617noreply@blogger.com
