Nazareth Home has recently had two deaf residents (they were part of the Catholic deaf community when I was here 40 years ago!) and I was asked to help provide some American Sign Language so staff can communicate more easily with them. Only deaf people should teach their language, to insure real learning, but I am giving some introductory principles and simple signs for communicating until some deaf teachers can be arranged. Because of work schedules usually only five to ten employees can attend class together.
