There are CD-ROMs with *dictionaries* of ASL on them. Quicktime video can
be easier to understand than a static drawing, but no 5-yr-old learns
language by reading the dictionary.
Best bet is getting a fluent ASL signer to teach Mom and the boy. Locate
your local deaf club and ask there. Many questions answered at:
http://deafworldweb.org/dww/
or
http://www.weizmann.ac.il/deaf-info/
or from the many fluent signers who post on the newsgroup I crossposted
this to....
