Although she can hear, nothing's stopping us from using the tool of the hearing-impaired to communicate with her.
And we've found that it turns her on.
Here, my uncle signs to her and she's so tickled. She loves looking at our moving hands. I've had similar response when signing nursery rhymes to her.
I've done up this manual as well of simple daily signs - sleep/bathe/sit etc.
Perhaps one day she'll get what we're trying to say.

Here in the UK they have developed a variant of BSL, called Makaton, specifically for children like Vera and others whose speech doesn't develop for whatever reason. I see that it has been adapted for use in Malaysia, although not Singapore.

This is great! Jonathan spells with alphabet signs. Hope Vera will be able to catch on more signs! BTW, how's the mikey doing?
Have fun with signing May!!!!
