Example of how Signing has Helped

Tonight at dinner (yes I am talking about you eating again) we were having a grand time. I was sitting next to you talking about the day. I go to let the dogs out to go potty and when I return you look at me and say "elp" and make the sign for help. I look at you and you say it again. I couldn't figure out what you might need help with. All your food was in font of you. YOu start to get a bit distressed so I look down and your foot was stuck! Instead of you having to cry or get frustrated, you were able to tell me you needed help and we went about our dinner. You looked so happy that you were able to tell me what was going on.
