Sign language instructor teaching language and compassion
MEDICINE HAT, AB —For some children, living with a disability means they have trouble communicating with the people around them. It can be hard making new friends who see them as being different.
However, a local sign language instructor is teaching kids how to sign and that it’s okay to be different.
Jennifer Usher has been teaching sign language for more than 10 years.
“I love their enthusiasm and how they pick it up so quickly,” she said. “Sometimes the teachers will be struggling and the kids are getting it right away.”
