Are you the parent of a Deaf child?

James Smith, author and co-owner of Deaf Sense LLC, has joined with ASL Concepts to provide a high quality ASL curriculum to youth. The ASL Concepts’ “One Fine Day” ASL Curriculum is coming out in June 2018 featuring James Smith’s book, “A Story of ASL” in paperback!
The curriculum is a themed American Sign Language instructional unit based on the classic Armenian folktale “One Fine Day” by Nonny Hogrogian. It is for children 3rd-5th grade. This curriculum includes 25 specific lessons focusing on the following ASL Concepts: Conditional “if”, Variations in ASL, Use of “Why” and “For-For”, Role-Shifting, Directional Signs, Descriptions, Reference Points, and the 5 Parameters of ASL.
Highlighted Deaf history lessons include: Martha’s Vineyard, the Deaf Gene, James Smith’s “A Story of ASL”, the First American Schools for the Deaf, and the Abraham Lincoln Memorial.
This curriculum also includes free instructional videos from the very talented Deaf Storyteller Patrick Fischer, aka “Mr.Shiney Head.”
The curriculum also includes an optional Study Guide to Andy Russell Bowen’s “A World of Knowing” as well as STEAM activities such as Tanagrams, Genetics, Foxes, Maps, and Engineering. Curriculum and supplemental kit (extra books and STEAM supplies) are available July of 2018.

CUSTOMER REVIEW: “So much more than I was looking for! Having heard that a large percentage of the population on Martha’s Vineyard knows sign language, I was looking for a simple explanation of why. This children’s book is so much more. A fun exploration of the history of American Sign Language, how it was developed, and how it both educated and empowered members of the deaf community for decades. I recommend it not only for members of the deaf community, but I believe children learning sign language at school or Scouts (or in a similar way) will also enjoy it.”

Ok , I have an amazing story that I want to share with you, but it requires some background information. Last year my family and I took a class entitled “A Mind of Steel” taught by 3Key Elements. It taught our family about something they call, “dot people.” You know those voices you have in your head that argue with you or give you thoughts that bring you down? Those voices that are in you, yet a ...[Read More]

What was valuable to me was realizing that even in moments where I didn’t think I could do anything, changing my thoughts and making small changes could make a huge difference. Mariposa Mentoring is amazing. Lynell can really help you realize what you want in life.
“Lynell is great at mentoring! She helped me through some major blocks in regards to loving and forgiving myself. I feel that I have more direction and desire to fulfill my personal purpose in life.”
I love all the Deaf Sense videos! My daughter is a big fan too. The kids are ASL role models for her!
Your posters that I bought from you have helped my students in my class recognize some of the deaf achievements and triumphs. For example, Matt Hamill and John Maucere both are on the poster. So when my students see this, they ask me if I am going to show more of the others who are successful. My students realize that there are more of other deaf people who want to be successful and be normal just like every one. Now my students will walk up to our 7 deaf students at the school and sign to them. These deaf students feel like they are more accepted.
