Success!!

[Nancy Cole]

Hi everyone!

I don't know if this will work or not, but I wanted to share an experience I
had today with one of my students.  She is Deafblind, and I have been
teaching her signwriting since the first day of school last week.  She is
already in 9th grade, and has CHARGE Syndrome.  I decided to use signwriting
because she reads symbols to help her with English words.  Her language
development is very delayed, and I was desparate to help her.  Today, for
the first time, after working again on the Goldilocks coloring workbook
(which she really loves) she looked at the B handshape on it's side and
signed "know."  She got so excited, as I did!  This is an absolute first for
her, and last night her mother told me she is finally trying to write to
express herself!   Anyways, I thought I would share this with you all!

Have a super week!!
Smiles

Hello Ingvild. Are you looking for an ASL sign for scissors? In my
dictionary it says:
Mime cutting with scissors; Open and close the index and middle fingers of
the R. “V” hand, palm facing in and fingers pointing L. with a repeated
movement.
Hope this helps
