Some more pics from an excellent day at V N Naik School for the Deaf. Parents investing in the lives of their kids - the most important predictor of success for any child.
A feeling that you belong is powerful. Here are our valiant families from KwaThintwa School learning South African Sign Language alongside one another.
We are so pleased to announce that our sign language resource was uploaded today to this Wits site. It can be freely downloaded and printed at your convenience. If your child uses SASL, enjoy! Please share with family and friends.
