Rachel Coleman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rachel de Azevedo Coleman is an American musician and actress. Before moving out of the Los Angeles area, she performed with the band We the Living and appeared in the made-for-TV movie Spring Fling. Together with her sister Emilie, she helped to create the Signing Time! video series to teach children basic American Sign Language. Her father Lex de Azevedo is an American Mormon composer known primarily for his film scores.
In 2001, Rachel teamed up with her sister Emilie to create Signing Time! - an entertaining children's public television and video series that teaches basic American Sign Language (ASL) to children of all abilities. In 1996, Rachel and her husband Aaron discovered that their oldest daughter Leah was deaf.[1] From the beginning, they have found that teaching her 'hearing' peers even a few basic signs builds bonds of friendship and community that every child needs.
In addition to being a mom, Rachel is the co-creator, director, and producer of the Signing Time series. She is founder and CEO of Two Little Hands Productions.
Coleman is a Latter Day Saint.
Her and her father Lex de Azevedo won a Pearl Award in 2007 for songs they had done for children.[2]
