My first grandchild is deaf bilaterally and is also a bilateral CI recipient. We have all been learning sign language together, although she is much more advanced in the language than we are. We take classes offered only once a year at the elementary school she attends and I just wish the school district would realize how important it is for families to learn asl to communicate with their children and siblings. One class a week for 8 weeks a year just isn't cutting it. I love learning the language and using it as often as possible.
I was born with hard of hearing and Pain in the ass for you. You will love sign language in ASL
The high school I am attending offers an ASL class to whoever wants to take it, and I love it! :)
Another reason is I born deaf with left ear 5 percent loss and right ear 0 percent loss.
Anyone have any info on how I can proceed with becoming a Certified Sign Language Inpterpreter in MI?? Aced all 3 of my college courses and woudl ove to continue on to be certified! I love the culture!

I loved Blues Clues (when I watched it with Steve), partially because he incorporated signing with his clues and songs.
