[QUOTE="Bebonang, post: 2402861, member: 13737"] A Deaf (if he is not deaf or hard of hearing) child don't like to be called "Special". He would rather be like any other children except he can not hear. Most hearing people put the label on the child(ren) "Special". I don't like using the word "hearing impaired" either like dogmom. Deaf child or children need to learn ASL unless you have a baby who need to learn baby sign language which is easier for the baby hands and fingers. I don't know how old is your child. So I am making a guess on what you are saying that your child is mute and need to communicate with sign language. You should have a mentor(s) coming to your home to teach your child to sign correctly. They might have equipment with DVD to show the child on ASL. Also there might be "Signing Times" on PBS if you can find the schedule program on T.V. so that your child and your family will enjoy learning the words. That would be fun to watch. :wave: [/QUOTE]
