For our first episode of season 2, we sat down with Erin McKenna to talk about her experience raising three bilingual children, including a son diagnosed with both Down's Syndrome and Autism. She offers insight into the unique challenges each child faces when acquiring language and how a signing system has helped meet her family’s communication needs. She has also authored a children’s book called Laughter is my Language, available on Amazon, which emphasizes the beauty of laughter, something understood by all children, of all cultures and neurological profiles. Here is the link to her book: Laughter is my Language https://www.amazon.com/Laughter-Language-Erin-Flynn-McKenna/dp/1728965152
