American Sign
Lanaguage (ASL) Community Awareness:
Establishing a sense of community and
heightened sense of awareness of the benefits of teaching ASL to children of
all abilities. Signing Time! will partner
with local communities and organizations to establish programs that will create
a family-to-family network offering support and assistance with ASL,
through: sharing of resources, development and
broadcast of the Signing Time series
on public television, public appearances,
product
donations, and providing information on published studies.
A recent NIH study
shows that children who learn to sign
may experience:
- Reduced frustration and
tantrums
- Increased bonding with parents
- Enhanced speaking, spelling,
and reading skills!
