It means everything to them when one can 'speak their language'. Knowing the alphabet can make a world of difference! (Some of my most wonderful moments in retail were being able to help our deaf customers. One woman hugged me before she left and told me she loved me)

Congratulations to Alex, what a fantastic worthwhile job. I think that sign language should be taught in schools. It would be brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
