Hi! I'm Molly Estes, a native American Sign Language (ASL) user, who works at Ohio School for the Deaf as an ASL Specialist. I am working with ASL teachers, teaching/tutoring ASL to OSD staff/faculty and students, and teaching students about Deaf Culture and History, ASL grammatical features, and ASL storytelling/activities. I plan to develop ASL skills evaluation for all OSD students. The ASL teachers and I are working on developing ASL curriculum for students in kindergarden through twelfth graade. I also am a Sign Communication Proficiency Interview (SCPI) Coordinator. The SCPI team and I evaluate candidates' signing skills. I am originally from Colorado. I graduated from Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind and Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. My parents and sisters are deaf and so is my husband, Bill. We have two hearing sons who are 12 and 9 years old, who have two languages: spoken English and ASL. Anyway, the ASL Web Based Preschool team and I are developing the ASL Curriculum on the Web with concepts of ASL and Deaf Culture. I videotaped the two signers and edited the videotapes. I hope you enjoy this preschool ASL Web site.
