Graphics: Three reasons Adam supports #whyIsign
Adam:
#1 Research has proven that signed languages are acquired before spoken languages.
#2 I have traveled globally including Europe and Asia and easily met many people with international signed languages. It’s awesome.
#3 Signed language is like building the foundation of the house. Without the foundation, the house collapses. So, without foundation of a signed language, it becomes a life-long struggle.
