This review is from: The Signing Family: What Every Parent Should Know about Sign Communication (Paperback)

I read this book a while back and I think it is great. It gives information on the different kind of sign languages that are out there. It also has info on education for a deaf child. This book is wonderful, I think it would be excellent for any one with a Deaf child needing some direction in the deaf world. Or some one needing info on Deafness and sign language.
