A Proposal Evaluation

Interaction and confidence

Using signs with children gives them an additional scaffold to comprehend what someone
is saying. Children can begin to communicate their ideas and feel like they are part of the
conversation. When they can communicate their ideas they will be more likely to show
interest in other people’s. Wright further states: Using sign language brings confidence to
those who lack communication skills. It is a natural outlet for expression. It helps build
bonds in the family and the school room. And while sign languages around the world differ,
there is a large core of iconic signs, which we instinctively understand. (Wright 2014, p.43
