With the support of staff and peers, Joseph used the virtual CPS program to learn and practice American Sign Language with his friends. As he mastered one sign, he became determined to learn more. He quickly was able to improve his ability to communicate with others. Staff have noticed a much more social Joseph because of his new signing skill-set which has given him even more confidence.
