our hands can

Thank you for your interest in Our Hands Can! This endeavor represents the convergence of my professional and personal interests. My professional background includes studying American Sign Language (ASL) linguistics and deaf education. My personal background includes singing the Signing Time and Music Together songs with my two very enthusiastic sons. I am excited to bring both programs to you.
