Knack American Sign Language: A Step-By-Step Guide To Signing

by Suzie Chafin, Johnston Grindstaff (Photographer)

While learning a new language isn't a “knack” for everyone, Knack American Sign Language finally makes it easy. The clear layout, succinct information, and topic-specific sign language partnered with high-quality photos enable quick learning. By a “bilingual” author whose parents were both deaf, and photographed by a design professor at the leading deaf university, Gallaudet, it covers all the basic building blocks of communication. It does so with a view to each reader's reason for learning, whether teaching a toddler basic signs or communicating with a deaf coworker. Readers will come away with a usable knowledge base rather than a collection of signs with limited use. · 450 full-color photos · American Sign Language · Intended for people who can hear · Can be used with babies and young children

This is a "refresher" for me. (I was to be a disability partner an autistic 4th grader at our church camp.) I have worked over 15 years with many different types of 'Special Needs' people (from preschool to adults, from severe to mild special needs.) The photos are easy for anyone at any age to understand.
