Hi Elli, 
 
I'm sure you will meet some interesting people at the local 
SHHH group's meeting.  Do go and participate, and you might 
even meet someone who wants to practice their sign language 
with you as well. 
 
You certainly have a challenging job.  I'm sure the rewards 
are just as great for the kids as they are for you.  When 
you and the kids are able to cross that communications 
barrier using whatever works best (ASL, PSE, SEE and or any 
other combination) it's a wonder of wonders and a delight 
to see. 
 
Do you have a copy of the Publications available from SHHH? 
If not, you could write or call and request one from: 
 
Self Help for Hard of Hearing People, Inc. 
7800 Wisconsin Avenue 
Bethesda, Maryland 20814 
 
or call 301-657-2248 Voice, 301-657-2249 TDD 
 
And thank you for sharing with us. 
 
                                          Wayne
