A few weeks back, I met 10/11 News reporter Bridget Fargen at a dinner meeting. We ended up sitting next to each other, and during the dinner we talked about our families and backgrounds. I was excited to hear that she knew ASL, and had taken it through high school and college. She was equally excited that I am teaching sign language vocabulary to babies and children in the community.
A few weeks later she called and asked if I would be interested in doing a story. Of course, I said YES! She came out and spent over and hour with Ben and I talking about sign language and how it has helped Ben to read. Ben was not the most cooperative that day, and was screaming most of the time I was trying to talk. But they did get the a clip of me explaining how we accidentally figured out he could read.
I also directed her to Ben's Speech Pathologist, Staci who is quoted in the report. The are a few other local Mom's in the report with their babies. Click Here to see the finished report.
