accessdate = ] In 2001, Rachel teamed up with her sister Emilie to create Signing Time! - a children's video series that teaches basic American Sign Language (ASL) to children of all abilities. Signing Time was inspired by Leah. 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.

She and her father Lex de Azevedo won a Pearl Award in 2007 for songs they had done for children. [http://deseretnews.com/cgi-bin/cqcgi_plus/@plus.env?CQ_SESSION_KEY=YSJZBCRBMEAF&CQ_CUR_DOCUMENT=1&CQ_TEXT_MAIN=YES]
