Well we all enjoy ST! and use it for various reasons. Here is my most recent success with ST!.
My son, Michael, Age 9 had his tonsils and adnoids removed last thursday. Unlike when I was a little girl they do an outpatient surgery and send them home when finished. So when he was out of surgery the nurses brought us back to sit with him while he came out of anestesia (sp?), he woke up and was trying to tell us something. I could not understand one word (he was like a drunken person that slurred his speach). So I told him, "Use your signs". He did I could understand what he wanted, he used signs and fingerspelling to communicate to me! The nurse then asked me "Is he hearing impared?" I told her "No we are just learning a second language". My only dissapointment was that I did not have time to tell her about ST! She had another boy that she needed to attend to.
Even now that my son is home, he uses his signs so he does not have to talk as he heals.
