SIGNING SANTA MEETS CHILDREN WITH HEARING LOSS<\/strong><\/p>\nSanta Uses American Sign Language To Chat with Children Who Have Hearing
\nLoss Corpus Christi, Texas \u2013 Did you know that Santa can use his hands for
\nsomething more than giving gifts and feeding reindeer? Santa travels all
\nover the world and knows many languages, including American Sign Language.
\nOn Saturday, December 11, 2010 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Signing Santa and
\nhis helper elves will be at the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Center to
\ncommunicate and share gifts with deaf and hard of hearing children. These
\nchildren will not have to miss out on this special rite of childhood just
\nbecause they cannot hear. Santa and his helpers will see that their visit
\nwith Santa is clearly accessible to the children.<\/p>\n
In addition to being able to talk to Santa and have their picture taken with
\nhim and his helpers, the children and their family will enjoy a free
\nbreakfast and a presentation of Christmas carols signed by the Flour Bluff
\nASL Club. Also, holiday craft building in Santa\u2019s Workshop will be provided
\nby volunteers from the Del Mar College Interpreter Club and Corpus Christi
\nInterpreters for the Deaf will be providing gift bags. In keeping with this
\nholiday\u2019s giving spirit, volunteers from Kohl\u2019s Department Store A- Team and
\nKing High School ASL students will be taking care of decorations, gift
\nwrapping, cooking, and play with the children while parents share with each
\nother.<\/p>\n
The Deaf & Hard of Hearing Center was established as a non-profit
\norganization in 1978 to build communication bridges for deaf and hard of
\nhearing people in South Texas. Services provided include interpretation
\nservices, literacy classes, ASL classes, advocacy, recreation programs,
\npublic education about hearing loss, and more. For additional information on
\nthe organization or Signing Santa, please contact the Deaf Center at (361)
