Some ASL

I took 2 years of American Sign Language at East os Angeles College in 1999. At the time I was working with a non verbal student and it was the only way the student knew how to communicate. once I learned American Sign Language I realized my student knew a lot and was very intelligent! It was a wonderful experience being able help change someone's life for the better.
