ASK Angie ASL + Tips: Deaf Awareness Month!
VIDEO DEMONSTRATION:
Let’s show our disability awareness by learning the Pledge of Allegiance in sign language! Now, when you are at a baseball game, or at the parade on Memorial Day, you can honor our country by signing the Pledge of Allegiance.
TIP: Summer is hot and being outdoors or playing sports gets us sweating. Perspiration can cause damage to hearing aids. Simple fixes like a “dry kit” can fix that problem.
Enjoy and have a safe and wonderful summer.
Note: ASL is a multi-sensory form of communication that helps children acquire vocabulary more quickly and efficiently.
