Just Deaf

"We often have the computer turned on: the archives of the Handtheater has lots of fun things for the children."

Sign language at home

"If I don't know a certain sign, I ask my son."

Do children learn sign language if their parents use Sign-supported Dutch?

"My children know they have to use sign language with me."

"Guus sometimes helps Sam if he doesn't sign something correctly."

"My parents thought it was important to eat together and talk together."

Should you even want to learn to sign as a parent, or can your child learn from other deaf people as well?

"I sing Fabian a lullaby using signs, and I noticed that helped me learn signs as well."

"Those Lotte & Max DVDs are amazing, for both parents and children. They help you learn really quickly."

"Signing has gotten better over the years."

"They can really babble together in sign language."

"I do think signing at home is going to be important to Fabian."
