ABC: ABC's in Signing Exact English

by Frances Bingham, Lindsasy Chandler

Welcoming a deaf grandson into the family was exciting. It also came with responsibilities. My grandson was 2 yrs old when he came to us, and he had no language. Years earlier I had worked in deaf education and had seen the frustration in the students when they couldn't communicate. It was disheartening. I also saw the joy and confidence in them when they acquired language and communicated well. My daughter and I created these books using Signing Exact English. We hope the books help parents and family members of deaf children communicate and spend quality time with each other. My grandson and family have been blessed with a huge support system and we hope these books become a resource and blessings to others.
