Why Deafblind Children should SIGN

[reidrules45]

that's a good idea. teaching a deafblind child sign language from an early age will open up their world, just like helen keller's world was opened with finger spelling.

Excellent message.

Tactile signing is the TRUE means by which Deaf blind adults can lead fully independent lives and communicate freely with others.

Your point about far more people knowing ASL than the DB manual alphabet... yes. It's far easier to use words than spell out every single word.

YES! Amen to that! I hope this message reaches some who need it. Whoo, when you talked about the manual signing...aiyoh! Signing is better, ASL! Communication, language, opportunities, people are opened up with ASL, great message!
