Good morning everybody hope you all are keeping well.

A photo of me when I was only 2 years old. I pointed to my uncle Larry for taking a photo of us and thanks to my aunt Kathleen for paying attention to my needs.

You can see pointing is vital for our deaf culture. We called it 'non verbal convention'.

Pointing does apply to both deaf and hearing children when they are not yet use spoken language.

Tips for you ☝️

Point to what you’re talking about, and don’t be shy about using gestures to support your communication.

For example, if you’re telling a group of children dinner is ready, you can do a knife and fork action and point to the dinner table. Keep your index finger straight.

On another hand, you must learn handshapes first before vocabulary that is how my deaf-led business is successful and run smoothly.

Thanks for your time in reading this 🤗
