Along with her husband and son, Mabel was also a student
in a WeeHands class. "I believe it is important
for families to learn to communicate with their
babies in order to decrease future frustrations
and negative behaviours. My hope is also to bridge
the gap between the Deaf and hearing culture. It's
exciting thinking that this social change could
possibly start with our children" |
