Hi everyone! We’ve been quiet for a bit, but we’re still here and excited to reconnect. If you have any questions or just want to say hi, drop them in the comments below! **Note: There are a few variations for the sign “LAUNDRY.” This variation incorporates two signs to convey the concept of “washing-your-clothes.” However, there is another variation which combines this onto one sign, but dropping the traditional sign for “CLOTHES.” As always, it’s important to check with your local Deaf community and see which variations they commonly use!

Happy December! ?? Did you notice how Travis changed his mouth morphemes when producing the sign “dance”? Mouth morphemes are an essential aspect of ASL and can change the meaning of a word. Here, we see Travis do a variety of different mouth morphemes, which in turn gives us information about the type of dancing that he is conveying. Pretty interesting, right?

Season Signs | ASL Glossary | The ASL Shop Which season do you love the most? ???????? Drop your favorite season in the comments!

November is Epilepsy Awareness Month and is especially important to us because Bre is part of this community! Though this can often be an invisible disability, it’s important to acknowledge the life changing effects it can have. The best thing you can do for your loved ones is become more aware of how this illness can present differently in those who have it. Sometimes even just being a comforting and supportive presence in someone’s life can make a huge difference! Check out these pages to learn more! @thecameronboycefoundation @epilepsyfdn @cureepilepsy

It’s the season of family and friends, so we figured this is an important sign to review. Are you spending the holidays with friends this year? GLOSS: TODAY SIGN WHAT FRIEND MY FRIEND WE MEET (point) fs-PARK

Epilepsy affects the lives of so many people (including Bre), not only those who have it but also their loved ones. Currently, there is no cure. However, many organizations are doing their part to raise money to better the lives of people with seizures. Please consider visiting these organizations’ pages to see what they are doing for the community! If you know someone with Epilepsy, ask them about their experience and how you can support them! @thecameronboycefoundation @epilepsyfdn @cureepilepsy
