A sign language (also signed language) is a language which uses manual communication, body language and lip patterns instead of sound to convey meaning—simultaneously combining hand shapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to express fluidly a speaker's thoughts. more at Wikipedia

Fortunately, because DD is deaf, we have been learning sign language since she was 9mo. This is wonderful! I can't stress learning sign language enough!
he is doing great with ASL and in a school for the deaf/hoh
Before my son could say the words his therapist taught him signs and gestures to communicate.he picked up on them quickly and we were thankful to have a way for him to tell us what he wanted.
He is for the most part non-verbal, so sign language has helped a great deal.

Learned sign at age 17. Was raised orally & mainstreamed in public schools. Never went to a deaf scholl in my LIFE until I hit Gally..... :) PROUD TO BE DEAF and part of the DEAF community.

Definitely worked for me. In my own opinion i think sign language is the best channel for communication with the deaf. There is a structure and it is a language.
