I work with adults who have I/DD this app has been useful for sure. I feel I am better at identifying than over doing.

That is awesome you are learning to work with that community. That will be helpful and I know these individuals and their families will appreciate your efforts. My son is an adult with ID. He is nonverbal and I have used basic signs with him since he was 1 yo. He himself can only sign a few words, but it has been helpful in communicating with him to add signs because it gives a concrete visual for him to help understand even the spoken language better. He responds better when I use signs. Unfortunately his school staff has not really taken on using signs with him as they prefer to use his AAC app on an iPad. But at home we use signs and audio buttons for basic things. While he will always need me to keep signs to 1-2 words at a time, I have always wanted to be able to be more competent with more sign language so that is why I am doing this app. My son can hear but does have a mild hearing loss that may get worse as he ages. I want to add signs as I speak to him more so he can learn tgem and understand over time even if he cannot sign tgem all himself. it will help our communication in case he starts losing more of his hearing.

Signing the Sign

Learning a few ASL signs used in Christian worship can help share faith in a clear and meaningful way. • God – An open hand moves upward from the forehead. The motion points upward, symbolizing God above us. • Jesus – The middle finger touches the center of each palm. This represents the nail wounds from the crucifixion. • Pray – Hands together near the chin in a prayer position, representing speaking to God. • Church – Fingers interlock, symbolizing believers gathered together as one body. • Bible – Hands open like a book, representing the Scriptures being read and shared. • Holy Spirit – A hand moves outward from the mouth like breath or wind, reflecting how Scripture often describes the Spirit. These signs are simple, meaningful, and a beautiful way to express faith through American Sign Language. What is your favorite sign?🤔🤔🔥

Just saying Hi👋👋👋

Hi👋👋 I am new here I am hearing but I have been around sign language all my life since I was little. I want to say that ASL is a way that all of God's people to be able to communicate. Hearing or not. I thank God for this app and for the ability to learn Asl.

New to ASL

I am not hearing impaired but am speech impaired. My husband is not speech impaired and is not deaf but is quite hard of hearing. I have unilateral vocal chord paralysis with weak voice and tendency for laryngospasms. We just started learning the alphabet and can only fingerspell slowly. He is not speech impaired. Plan is, he will read my signs and speak for me in public. Am on Section 1, ABC 2. Have learned 19 of 26 letters. Years of learning still ahead but one step at a time.
