My Story

Every Deaf child has the right to learn a first language effortlessly.

Language First aims to educate and raise awareness about American Sign Language (ASL)/English bilingualism and the importance of a strong first language foundation for Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children. Browse resources, handouts, events, and intervention activities to make your work as evidence-based as it can be.

Enjoy Reading and the Outdoors! 
Take a short walk and read My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere with Me- Illustrated in American Sign Language  at the permanent StoryWalk® at
Mount Hope Farm, Bristol, Rhode Island courtesy of the Friends of Rogers Free Library. The StoryWalk® is on the North Pasture, located on the left-hand side as you drive into the farm. The StoryWalk® at Mount Hope Farm is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., except holidays. My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere with Me will be on display on for the month of September  2023.
