shares her memories of childhood, school, marriage; also her career as a
teacher and interpreter trainer and later as an entertainer. With her
striking talent for storytelling, her delightful presentation is full of
insight and humor. Great for parents, deaf students, interpreter training
programs, and deaf studies." -Booklist "Highly Recommended!

| Sign Language - it's not something only for people who are deaf or hard of hearing; it's something that almost everyone can do. Sign language can be fun and very rewarding for everyone who uses it. It's a great help to introduce children to sign language at an early age, which is the key point of this program. Here, two hosts, Gisele and Cheryl, visit a school for deaf children where students there demonstrate the signs for common words used every day. There are six segments in the program and each shows children that communicating between hearing kids and deaf kids is not only possible, it's also a lot of fun. Segments include: Professions; Food; Colors; Family; Animals; Transportation. Produced by TVO. 07DR PI 15 min. |
