Welcome!
The mission of FSH is to conserve and celebrate the history of Deaf Mexicans and Mexican Sign Language.
Have you ever come across a stituation where you wondered how you could overcome language barriers with deaf hispanics and understand their culture? With these language barriers present, how would you communicate with a Hispanic Deaf person?
The first objective of the books and DVD by FSH is to introduce you to Mexican Sign Language (LSM) and cultural gestures as well as Amercian Sign Language (ASL), which provides a crucial link between the languages. The books and DVD describe interesting historical, educational and personal accounts from several deaf Mexicans, including my own.
FSH proudly educates all who work with the Deaf Hispanic community, promoting pride in their own Mexican Deaf Culture and preserving LSM and Deaf Hispanic rights.
The purpose of FSH developing these books is to improve the quality of everyone's lives, to foster empowerment and self-reliance in both hearing and deaf individuals, and to bridge the gap between the American Hispanic communities.

¿Alguna vez se ha enfrentado a una situación en que se ha preguntado cómo poder sobreponerse a barreras del idioma con hispanos sordos y comprender mejor su cultura? Sabiendo que existen estas barreras, ¿cómo se comunicaría con un hispano carente del sentido auditivo?
El primer objectivo de los libros y el DVD de FSH es introducirle a Ud. a la Lengua de Señas Mexicanas (LSM) y sus expresiones culturales, así como a la Lengua de Señas Americanas (ASL), que le suministrarán un eslabón de vital importancia entre los dos idiomas.
El objetivo que persigue FSH en la edición de estos libros es el de mejorar el nivel de vida de todos e inducir una autodependencia, tanto en personas con sentido auditivo y las carntes de él, y cerrar la brecha entre las comunidades amercianas e hispanas.
