As a parent of a child with special needs, I have a great deal of admiration for organizations like GraceSigns. Valerie Carter, whom I've had the pleasure of knowing over the years, is truly inspiring in her dedication to her work and has indeed created an amazing tool for helping children of all ages and abilities learn sign language. I look forward to seeing this wonderful organization blossom now and into the future.
What a wonderful tool, not just for Special Needs children but for all children. Communication is key in today's world and every child should understand there are many ways to communicate in different ways; especially to those that are different, but to also learn a new skill - it's a fun, creative site. Congratulations, Valerie!

I look forward to see what the future holds for this charity.
GraceSigns is an extraordinary organization with an amazing cause. Their app, SignMeAStory, is fantastic; it has many stories that are simple and easy to understand, and can be used for kids of all ages. I can't wait to see what more GraceSigns will accomplish in the future, in terms of making a impact in the lives of special needs children by teaching them skills of communication. Keep up the great work!
What a great organization! Finding ways of opening up communication and fostering an inclusive environment for learning are just a couple of things that Make GraceSigns special!
I have been very impressed with GraceSigns and their applications that are teaching reading and sign language. This non-profit organization is making a huge difference in the lives of many. I am looking forward to what GraceSigns will do in the future.
GraceSigns is an amazing organization. They are using education to not only teach but expand children's thinking to be inclusive of others who are differently-abled. They provide the learning of signing with stories and video and music through their apps. This collaboration of their many creative minds make this group so unique and special. Valerie (the founder) is a champion of making everything fun and positive! I can picture the children interacting with their apps and developing their communication skills with big smiles : )
I love that this organization is increasing awareness of young people with language challenges and learning differences by focusing on communication. As a SLP with many clients, I am always looking for apps that can be used in multiple ways. I love this app because not only are my clients able to learn new signs, they are able to then use the signs to answer my comprehension questions about the story. The signing vocabulary not only applies to the story, but also to vocabulary in their everyday life. I also appreciate that the story can be read aloud to the client, I can read it myself at a slowed pace, or my client can read the text themselves. I highly recommend this app!
Great app that brings awareness to special needs children! I love how user friendly and streamlined it is! I would definitely recommend it!
This app is inspirational it allows children to learn and read while raising money for people with disabilities. It is amazing and is the beginning of a movement to help the people that need our help the most.
We have been looking for a way to help my son communicate and found this app on the App Store. We learned signs while reading the funny stories. Now my son can tell me that he is happy or sleepy or thirsty. He feels empowered and I feel great. I have recommended it to my friends because I honestly believe that they can help so many kids express themselves. GraceSigns is an outstanding nonprofit. I hope they keep up the good work.
This is a great charity with a highly dedicated founder and admirable mission. The app is fun and easy to use. I'm excited to see what Gracesigns comes up with next
This is such an awesome organization. I love the fact that they are not only teaching sign language but also showcasing kids with disabilities. Using technology is great too because it has has such a broad reach. My son has speech issues and the Sign Me A Story app was a big help to me and him-we both learned a bunch of signs and really liked the funny cartoon characters. A big thank you to this group, hope they keep making apps!
