The Signing Kids Present Learning Sign Language Through Laughter

By Debra J Visneuski Fontaine

A business owner and a mom to four amazing kids, Deb went back to college in 1994 to study sign language and in 1996 she completed additional courses at Rhode Island School for the Deaf.

Owning a children's party planning business, she incorporated original whimsical sign language lessons and songs into each event. The news of the fun lessons spread quickly to surrounding schools and Deb was hired to teach sign language as a second language to classrooms of hearing children across the state. In 2004, she created a children's sign language pilot for Rhode Island PBS and in 2006 she opened her own school with an emphasis on Sign language, which received letters of excellence. Today, now a grandmother of three wonderful grandsons, Deb has completed two books including "Clumpy the Cloud" and "The Signing Kids Present: Learning Sign Language through Laughter". She is currently working on her second "The Signing Kids Present" book to continue the ongoing series.
