Guest guest Posted February 2, 2000 Report Share Posted February 2, 2000 hi Lee Ann Welcome to the list. I'm in Calif and I have Hayley who is profoundly deaf and uses total communication. I take ASL on Tues nights and Monday nights my hearing daugthers take sign. I only speak English and now I can sign somewhat...slowly. I think we have one person who is a linguist and I know we do have an ASL professor on the list. > >Reply-To: Listen-Uponelist >To: " Listen-up Group " <Listen-Uponelist> >Subject: Hi.
