“How to Talk to a Person Who Can’t Hear: A Unique Video That Teaches Sign Language”, Christine Jenkins Productions, $39.95, Length: 55 minutes

This is a fabulous piece of work. The video from Sherman Oaks producer Christine Jenkins not only teaches sign language, it reassures people, including children, that they can communicate with the deaf, and that the process isn’t hard or mysterious. The video features Anthony Natale, a deaf actor who puts viewers at ease and seems to anticipate the questions people most want answered. Other actors and locations are utilized to make the tape entertaining. Viewers will learn about the world of the deaf: how deaf people drive, understand movies, for example. This video will go a long way to easing the relationships between people who hear and those who don’t. It can be ordered by calling (888) 744-6843 or TTY: (818) 788-5977.
