Learn More about their workshops
Ken and Georgia Frawley established 4 Parents and Teaches to provide quality children’s and family music, video, movement, and American Sign Language, ASL, products. Ken Frawley graduated from California State University Fullerton and for the past 30 years has performed the songs on their DVDs and music albums to over 1 million children. Georgia Frawley not only performed with Ken but also taught, for 34 years, children’s music and ASL as part of her child development high school classes in Rialto California.
Ken Frawley has written over 400 children's songs used around the country, is an award-winning producer of video products for children, and has performed over 5000 children’s and family programs for over 1 million children. He has taught thousands of parents and teachers across the country how to incorporate singing and signing, with ASL, into the lives of children, from birth to elementary school.
Georgia Frawley, MA, began working as a dorm counselor at the California School for the Deaf in Riverside, California, while she was finishing her teaching credential in physical education and home economics from California State Polytechnic University Pomona. By the end of her first day of work, the children had taught her over 30 signs.
When she married Ken and they had a daughter, Coreen, signing with her was second nature to Georgia. As she talked, Georgia also signed the same words she had learned to use with the children from the School for the Deaf. It seemed to her that she was supporting language growth by making words visual for her young child.
Ken and Georgia experienced the benefits of signing with their own children in the 1980s. They used ASL signs not only to enhance communication, but as part of songs and games that provided for fun family interaction while supporting early learning of educational concepts. They later included signing activities in their children's concerts and shows. From these experiences they developed programs for using American Sign Language with all hearing children from babies to elementary school ages and have taught their concepts and techniques to parents and educators across the country.
