ASL is a language, just like French or Russian. It's no more offensive to sign even if you aren't deaf than to speak Russian even if you aren't Russian. What may be offensive is pretending to be deaf if you are hearing, but that obviously wasn't the case. It sounds to me like you guys are doing great and I hope you both continue to keep up the good work in the future! Congratulations on getting to attend the camp - that sounds like a fantastic experience
