There are so MANY benefits from knowing how to sign, that I began teaching my son as soon as he was born!

I got a Facebook message from one our listeners, Israel Davidson, asking a favor;

I have a favor to ask your large audience. I am a 20 something college student learning American Sign Language (ASL) and would really like to find some deaf people or just one person to chat with and learn from. A hearing person that signs would be fine but the challenge of having to sign with a deaf person is the best education there is. I would love to find someone to hang out with once in awhile and hopefully get to be friends with. I don't know if you could share this on your Facebook or on the air. I really love learning ASL and would really love to become more fluent! Thanks MACK!!

My son began learning baby signing during story time with Kendra Dockery from Little Bird Signing and I know there is a Baptist church in town that has a good sized group and a class on Wednesdays at Western Colorado Community College at 5:30.

Do you know anywhere else he can get some real world experience, place your suggestions in the comment section below!
