American Sign Language and what we do

Because we are involved in the deaf community, we realize there are many more competent people to teach American Sign Language-like Deaf people! We're not teaching a language. We are providing ASL signs that hearing parents can use to communicate and connect with their hearing children. We have already inspired one mom to continue learning more signs, and referred her to our friend Andrea who teaches ASL at USC. Learning any foreign language at an early age increases the brains ability to learn new languages later-we're hoping we're creating a whole generation that will go to school and demand to learn ASL instead of French or German.
