REMINDER: Deaf Awareness Week is Coming Soon!
Now that the kids are back to school, the temperature is edging downward and the odd leaf is already starting to fall, the reality of summer being over is setting in. With summer vacations behind us, it’s time to think about upcoming events, one of which (Deaf Awareness Week) is just over a week away.
As I posted in early August, the last full week in September (Sept 21-27) has been designated Deaf Awareness Week (known in some circles of the deaf community as the International Week of the Deaf.) It is a time to put a spotlight on the many members of the deaf community, highlight their tremendous contributions and accomplishments, and focus the attention on the issues and challenges facing the deaf.
During this week, many deaf organizations, hold activities on international, national and local levels to celebrate the deaf community and educate the hearing community about deaf-related topics. Readers of this blog are encouraged to check with their local deaf organizations about events in their area.

Sign with Kids Helps Children Learn ASL Basics
Once used almost exclusively by the deaf and their family members, ASL is going mainstream. Due to information coming to light in recent years suggesting learning American Sign Language (ASL) at an early age can support the development of all kids, many parents of children as young as pre-schoolers have decided to have their kids learn to sign.
Sign with Kids is a sign language curriculum developed with children in mind, the goal being to have a teacher spend very little time on the "busy work" of preparing lessons. 25 lessons cover topics that kids need for everyday life, plus 5 additional lessons deal with holidays and special occasions. Each lesson comes complete with a cover page, vocabulary words and sentences for beginning and intermediate/advanced level classes, as well as games/activities for practicing new vocabulary and reviewing previous lessons.
