    I think the students will be surprised that they can understand the practice story after just two lessons. Very cute!

    This is very helpful in learning some food signs as well as diner table signs. Billy Seabo's teaches the vocabulary in a way that easy to understand. He clearly demonstrates the signs making it easy to sign.

    I will continue to review each of the Bravo Family videos as refreshers, and work my way through the videos I haven't gotten to yet. Thank you for offering this! It's so helpful! For anyone reading this review, if you have never learned sign, these videos are very organized, presented in small, useful chunks and easy to absorb. Also, a great feature that is offered with the videos is that you can slow the video to .5, .75, regular speed, or even speed it up. You can pause the video, rewind and I LOVE the 10 second rewind feature! Great videos! If you can take this as a class with Sherin, she is fantastic!

    Having the vocabulary presented in a variety of way is super-useful! The cultural notes in this episode about Deaf culture -pointing out that deaf families laugh and have fun together- is an awesome point to make and relevant to non-speaking autistics I think. Learning the origins of some signs helps me remember them. I absolutely LOVE these videos! Thank you so very much for making them available!

    As stated before...Having Closed Caption is wonderful for deaf students to be able to watch and do our assignment. Yes, most is signed, but the Culture and Grammar sections aren't, that's where the CC comes in handy. I'm happy I found these videos!!

    Thank you! This is exactly what my son and I needed. Because he isn't deaf, we have limited access to ASL immersed environments for him. At his school, he is given a communication device that he isn't really working with, very well. We've learned lots of signs, through books, Signing Time, and some community-based classes, but haven't been in an immersive environment to learn the conversational structure. I love that this is focused on family life. So valuable! We're already practicing some phrases from just the first 5 videos. I look forward to our journey through the others. Many thanks to all of your sponsors that are making this resource available for families like ours. It's giving my son greater confidence to practice the signs that he knows.

    This is a wonderful series; invaluable for families to develop their ASL skills in order to communicate with their signing child. I had requested it to be sent to the wrong address. I plan to reserve it again with the correct address and view date
