Heartwarming KODA Performance for Deaf Parents

This was making the rounds on the social networks earlier this month. This is a video taken at a kindergarten Christmas concert. It captures a sweet child of deaf adults (a "CODA" or "KODA") who chose to perform in ASL instead of the usual choreography. That way, her parents - as well as other deaf people - could appreciate the performance fully:

Highly expressive. She's a delight to watch.
