Hi Everyone,
My wife and I are in Melbourne, Fl and we are in the process of adopting a 4-year old deaf little boy from China.
We are looking for any resources, help, information we can get about learning ASL, how to provide a good education for him, anything we can. We have no experience with deafness personally so anything that can be passed along would be great.
I'd love to get my family up to speed in ASL as quickly as possible so that when he comes home it will be one less transition. He doesn't know sign language now but my assumption is that if the entire family is signing he will pick it up that much faster (much the way my youngest daughter picked up English).
Again, anything you can help with would be great and thano you in advance.
