Im learning asl because my wife and a few friends are deaf,

(2) I am a firefighter and sign language is very handy in a noisy place.

I watch closely when meeting some patients and sign to then when i speak to them.

if they are deaf it makes it easier for me to pass on information when we are directing traffic at accident scenes.

sometimes patients are deaf and i may not know it but it helps us to communicate accurately with other non signers.

(3) we have had multiple requests to teach asl in our department so my wife and i are organizing as much information as we can.

and (4) it is a lot of fun!

    • Hello All!! I started my ASL journey for my now 8-year-old daughter.  She is hearing (as am I), but she has a speech delay. She picked up on the signs her speech therapist would use quickly. My husband and I knew then that this would be another mode of communication for her. She now uses her AAC device, ASL, and she is still advancing gradually with trying to speak words. I started the journey for her, and as I moved into an intermediate course, I knew that the more I learned, the more I could teach her. I desire to strengthen my signing and facial expressions in this community, and I hope that my example will inspire more parents to add ASL as a mode of communication for their speech-delayed children.  I look forward to growing and practicing here. 🙂
