Thank you for your kind words. Thank you...Trecia, <br />Thank you for your kind words. Thank you also for taking the time to make your comment. How wonderful that you were a Sign Language interpreter and worked for one year in a grade school classroom with a deaf student. What a great experience! <br /><br />I truly believe sign language is a wonderful gift to open the world of language to so many people. Of course, others must also learn and know sign language to be able to understand the person signing.<br /><br />It's great that you're signing with Joel and that he enjoys watching. The continuing to wait and see isn't easy but continuing to keep on teaching, helping and working with him is always worthwhile and in Joel's own time he will show you all the wonderful things he can do. :)<br /><br />SandieSandie-Matthew's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11713990436763822654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738070699265994888.post-19859438422763703112009-06-16T07:21:27.535-07:002009-06-16T07:21:27.535-07:00Nice post about Sign Language Sandie.

Unfortunately in my geographical area there was not a strong need for interpreters and I could not make a living at it, and have since lost much of my signing skill. <br /><br />I did teach my grandaughter basic sign when she was a baby, before she had spoken language and she used it freely for "more", "milk", "apple" etc. I sign and sing the alphabet to Joel daily and we sign "milk" "eat" and "more" appropriately to him also. Joel really seems to enjoy watching my hands when I do the alphabet for him, his eyes light up and he gets a big grin on his face. <br /><br />We don't know yet whether Joel will have problems with his speech, he babbles but no typical "ma ma" "da da" yet guess we'll just have to wait and see and continue to incorporate sign language into our daily activities.Treciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103178683453167264noreply@blogger.com
