Panetta: Signing ‘yes’ to children with disabilities

Life is full of transformations.

Parenthood is one. Becoming a parent of a disabled child is another.

Rachel Coleman, a singer-songwriter who is bringing a live version of her PBS musical sign-language show "Signing Time" to Illinois Central College, has two children with disabilities: Leah, 15, who is profoundly deaf, and Lucy, 12, who has spina bifida and cerebral palsy.
