Families gather at a weekly Summer event in Pleasant Grove to learn and socialize with mentors, resources and other families about all things American Sign Language.
PLEASANT GROVE, Utah — The Pleasant Grove"ASL in The Park" event brings families in touch with mentors, resources and other families to socialize and bring awareness to the importance of learning American Sign Language.
“Often, families never meet a deaf person, their baby is the first deaf person they’ve ever met,” said Kennedy. “And they just don’t know what to do and how to communicate, so we go in, and teach them signs and show how they can communicate with deaf babies and we welcome them into the deaf community so they can meet all different kinds of people.”
“I learned that families that were trying to learn sign language were so frustrated that they couldn’t share bedtime stories with their kids,” said Blum. “So I was really motivated that I wanted to make books that families that were new to sign language could sign.”
