The new test is safer than amniocentesis, so it is expected that the number of women who receive testing will rise significantly. So, too, will the number of couples who will grapple with the question, “What does it mean to have a child …

By / 3 minutes of reading

by Lane Rebelo, LCSW, Master Signing Time Instructor In communities across America, story time is a favorite activity at libraries, child care centers and preschools for good reason.

Story times that incorporate American Sign Language can introduce families with young ones to a hands-on second language and add an appealing new twist, making story time even more fun, educational, and engaging. Why Story …
