This week, a video has gone viral on TikTok. In the video, Zachary (@oursignedworld on TikTok) a deaf father saw his daughter interpret for him for the very first time.
The video shows Zachary and his daughter, Madison, at a supermarket. When Madison hears a baby crying, she puts down what she’s holding and signs what she’s heard for her dad.
