      Today I did an interview with Louise Sattler who is the creative owner/operator of  http://www.signingfamilies.com.   Louise is an expert trainer at workshops and classes that teach American Sign Language to help people communicate with one another.  She is also a certified school psychologist who has an awareness of the importance of the need for families and community leaders to learn sign language.   Sign Language opens doors and bridges gaps for people who are hearing impaired, or who may have developmental delays or special needs.  Communication is something that many people take for granted.

         Put yourself in the position of a person who is hearing impaired, or a person who lives with special needs; and, consider some environments they they may experience differently than you; such as a trip to the hospital or emergency room.  How different would the experience be for you if you were the one who had difficulty making your needs known to the health care professionals.  Or say you are an elderly person who is experiencing hearing loss…how are you going to communicate with other residents or say the staff?   How about shopping or getting educational services at college or in elementary school?   How about ordering a meal in a restaurant?   Do you see how the quality of life can be improved for people impacted in this way?   Can you see how sign language could open doors for people if others in the community took the opportunity to learn it from someone like Louise or through her DVD’s?

    Good Job on the interview with Louise Sattler! I knew you would do great. Wish more people would just take the kind of action you do. I remember my first interview I did and how nervouse I was. Was sure out of my comfort zone but sometimes we have to step out and be a little uncomfortable for a bit to make things happen. You did a great job bringing the content you needed out for this interview you did.

    You are only going to get better as you do more. But I have to say you were pretty fantastic already. Your the best.
    Love Jeff

    Great job on the interview. It is the first of many to come I am sure. I wish everyone would take the kind of action you do.

    I know you were a little bit nervouse but you did great. I remember my first interview and how far it took me out of my comfort zone. YIKES! But sometimes in order tomake something great happen it takes getting a little uncomfortable.

    Great job once again and look forward to hearing more great interviews like the one you did today with Louise Sattler.

    Love Jeff

    Oh, Rainy! I am so happy to hear about Louise. She offers such a tremendous service and fills a great need in a beautiful way.

    I’m just as impressed with YOU, that you would include all this great information here on your blog.

    Since hearing the interview, I feel as if I know Louise. You brought out all the salient points and she addressed them with aplomb.

    My interest in sign has been renewed; now I have fresh resources to spur me on!

    Thank you so much!

    Hugs,
    Mother Connie

  4. HI Mother Connie, Please feel free to join my fan page on FACEBOOK and also to comment there about Lorraine’s great broadcast. She was a natural! Also, perhaps next time I will write down our salient points and have a written transcript for my friends in the deaf and hard of hearing community.

    May we use your comments on our website http://www.SigningFamilies.com

    If so, please email me at Louise@SigningFamilies.com with your website address too, if you wish.
