Deaf Role Models: Making the Family Support Puzzle Complete
Some parents have found that learning American Sign Language (ASL) can be a daunting task. They may become overwhelmed by the process of incorporating ASL into their daily routines and learning a new language altogether. This workshop introduces you to the concepts and benefits of having a Deaf role model as a part of your family service plan. Logistics for set up of the program and a variety of home visit plans will be shared as well as tips for transitioning grieving parents to the learning and celebrating stage. Videos of different home visits will also be shown.
Rather than learning ASL in a classroom setting geared for persons who want to learn a language, parents are able to learn functional ASL through learning how to sign stories. Learning ASL this way then becomes a process that is enjoyable for any member of the family in their home/neighborhood environment rather than learning “the basics” and how to communicate with their child in a classroom setting. There is documented research showing that linking English stories and everyday routines with ASL provides for a successful shared literacy experience that leads to development towards becoming a bilingual person.
