Learning ASL
As Nanny for 2 special needs children, I'm on a journey to learn American Sign Language (ASL) to support my child in expressing their emotions when verbal communication becomes overwhelming. Understanding that being overstimulated can render them nonverbal, I see ASL as a powerful tool for them to convey their feelings effectively. By embracing ASL alongside them, I aim to create a nurturing environment where they feel heard and understood, fostering a deeper connection and empowering them to navigate their emotions with confidence and clarity.
