Problem

Deaf children are often born into hearing families. To communicate, they develop home-made signs, but these signs are often limited. A sign language dictionary helps families see signs as a real language, and gives a way to truly connect. They need the dictionary to expand their signing vocabulary, which lays a foundation for learning a written language. \

The Gift

Your gift will provide one sign language dictionary for a family. Deaf trainers introduce the dictionary to the families, and show non-verbal activities that get families and their Deaf children communicating better. Because of you, families will more fluently communicate with their Deaf child, and Deaf children will master the sign and written language of their area, vastly improving the quality of their lives and futures. \
