Our three-year old daughter is hearing-impaired and is receiving speech therapy and ASL instruction, but my family and I want to learn more.

I use this service and they send everything to my house by ups and pick it up. It's free...but I don't know where you are from...you may have one too. Books & videos on anything to do with deafness and hard of hearing...coping, learning, and fun stuff like movies too.

I am HOH and my family mainstreamed me. They didn't catch on to my problem till I was in my 20's. I had a 70/70 bilateral loss. But I had surgery to correct it a little. Best thing is to get educated. I wish I had known about deaf culture before I had the surgeries. I did not adjust well. I never knew other kids like me. There is a lot of help out there. You can ask me anything at my 360 page blog(it has an email option under the photo). Good Luck!

Here is an entry I found searching the web:
ASL Pro
... free online ASL educational resource website featuring over 11,000 ASL Signs ... More ASL Learning Tools. Preview a Computer Program Online Here ...www.aslpro.com
There are many more sites, also. I typed in "free online ASL."
Good luck to you and your family. I think it is great that you are trying to do everything you can to communicate with your daughter.

You need to buy a ASL (American Sign Language)book.
You don't need a dictionary to tell you what the Signs
mean.
The book may cost under $20. You might find it on
Amazon.com
I have a couple of videos to that help teach Signing.
I had a class in Sign. I was shocked that one of the
students had a deaf son of 12, and she never took a
class before to learn to speak to him.
It just takes PRACTICE, lot's, and lot's of PRACTICE.
You can Sign to songs. I showed my First Grade Class
how to Sign to " You Are My Sunshine ". :-)

one time I did a search on Yahoo Search for learning sign language am sorry do not have the sight now but it would show all the terms, and letters step by step......I would show what I learned to a friend of mine who knew sign language due to his mother being deaf.....he said I had learned well from that...hope you can find that site
