Thor prefers ASL,the Speech Therapist(ST) at school keeps pushing the Picture Exchange Program(PEP),this is where you show a picture to show what you want/need.Thor has been signing for 9 years and wants nothing to do with PEP. I have talked with his teacher and ST(teacher is also a hearing signer).I don't want Thor to have a "communication breakdown" because his signing is not being acknowledged.The ST's logic is not everyone is a hearing signer,I know and respect that but Thor's communication also has to be respected
