Did you know… Thomas Edison, one of the most famous inventors in history, was deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other? 🔊 He created over 1,200 inventions including the electric light bulb, phonograph, and motion picture camera. Edison often said his deafness was a blessing because it helped him focus on his work. 💡

Did you know… facial expressions are a big part of ASL grammar? They’re not just emotions, they actually change the meaning of a sign. Here is the link to watch as one of our students shows how expressions like happy, sad, or mad give ASL its tone and power. 🤟 https://youtu.be/Q6jKGBRi2sM

Deaf Awareness Month 🧏♀️💚💛
Did you know there are 300+ different sign languages that people are using around the world? 🌎
Fun fact: While the U.S.🇺🇸 and England 🏴 both speak English, but our sign languages are completely different! Here we use ASL (American Sign Language), while in England they use BSL (British Sign Language).
