Getting the Word Out

On Friday, I presented a workshop on signed-communication to some very enthusiastic parents.  I have to say that this may be my favourite thing about my job.  Talking!!  It's still hard to believe that I was raised by a Deaf parent because I can talk like nobody's business!  The parents who attended my presentation were there for various reasons....some had children with communication difficulties, some had typically-developing infants, and some were child care professionals who wanted to be more effective at supporting children with different communication needs.  Whatever the reason for attending, this was a group of very eager participants from beginning to end.  I can't wait to do it again!
