WELCOME!

Over the years in college, I've become fascinated with the way children acquire and develop languages. What surprised me in my personal research, is the lack of public awareness of many important issues concerning language development and education.

There is so much good advice and sources out there. What seems to be the problem is finding one place where all these great sources can be accessed easily. This blog is made in hopes of overcoming that problem and supplying information to those in need.

This blog will focus on interests that I've developed in language and education. This includes: ASL, hard of hearing and deaf services, literacy levels, early intervention, education and cultural issues.

I hope this may become a helpful source to find the information the you need.

I have over three years experience working with children ranging from toddlers to forth grade. I have worked as a daycare assistant, research assistant for a literacy program and a reading tutor.

The information here are from what I learned from college, research or other reliable resources. This blog is a collection of resources and information.
