If you guess clapped her hands.
OF COURSE.... I can just say "Patty Cake" the infant would automatically clap her hands.
Something to ponder.... Let me know what you think of this..

Guess what? The head of the local private preschool wants to send
her teachers to my class, so they can learn ASL and teach the
hearing pre schoolers! Maybe when ASL becomes even more popular
with Hearing community, the Hearing parents of Deaf children will feel
more comfortable with letting their children learn ASL. I think it would
improve their abilities to learn oral speech and any other modalities.
