Next Medical American Sign Language Phrasebook American Sign Language is the most common language of Deaf Americans and Canadians. It is their native language, not merely a substitute for English words. In fact, many Deaf people are not fluent in written English and cannot simply write notes to communicate. Encounters with medical professionals require excellent communication, and Deaf patients may need to have a highly qualified professional interpreter present and in the US, they have a legal right to this at the medical provider's expense, if necessary to communicate effectively in the situation involved. On the other hand, there are many minor encounters where hearing and Deaf people will need to communicate. Scheduling an interpreter to be present for these would be impractical. It is a tremendous convenience for Deaf patients to be able to communicate in their native language in such situations. Many hearing people are interested in learning ASL. Movies like

CHCI is a sanctuary for a unique family of chimpanzees who have acquired the signs of American Sign Language (ASL) and use those signs in conversations with each other and their human companions. The chimpanzees' accomplishments are a scientific first and have resulted in a better understanding of ourselves, as well as our place and role in nature. This was achieved by accepting the chimpanzees on their terms, as much as possible, and thus giving special consideration to the chimpanzees' needs. We have found that good empirical research can and must be humane in the treatment of the chimpanzees. This entails developing ways to improve the living conditions for captive chimpanzees that meet both their physical and psychological needs.

78. Lesson Tutor: American Sign Language (ASL) Alphabet Flash Cards And More! Activities for learning the sign language alphabet by using American sign language Flashcards. http://www.lessontutor.com/ees_asl_flashcards.html

You are HERE Learning American Sign Language (ASL): Using Alphabet Flash Cards By Elaine Ernst Schneider and Joanne Mikola Dec. 14, Shop @ LT Sing and Sign a Song for Christmas Includes Away in a Manger Silent Night and O, Holy Night Introducing ASL to Pre- School - K Learners Includes Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and 5 Little Froggies Amazon Products Objective: To become familiar with the sign letters used by the hearing impaired. Preparation: Make your own or purchase a set of ASL alphabet flash cards. For example, we have a double set of alphabet cards available through the LT Store , that you can download, and print immediately. We would recommend any number of the following options to preserve the life of the cards. 1. If your printer has the capability to pull through cardstock (60 lb), use it! This prevents seeing the images through the paper. 2. If you or your children are the least bit crafty, print out the cards, trim excess paper, paste onto cereal box cardboard, then cut along the lines. 3. For a set of cards impervious to spilled pop and dirty fingers: print on cardstock, cut out each card individually, then laminate them, leaving a wide border to ensure a secure seal between each. Office supply stores (Kinkos, Staples, etc.) will provide this service on a per page basis. Amazon.com sells a variety of mini laminators that may just be the handiest purchase you make this year (right after the hot glue gun or the can of spray adhesive!) Sample Activities: 1. Mix up all the alphabet flashcards. Allow the student to become familiar with the signs by making the alphabet sign and then placing it on a table in order. For example, draw out the card for B. Make the sign for B, carefully matching the picture on the card. Place the card on the table. Draw another card. Perhaps this card is H. Make the sign for H. Place it on the table after B. (Were the next card an A, it would go before the B.) Continue until all cards are on the table in order. Then sign the alphabet, looking at the cards if need be, in order.

WA Deaf Society /Auslan Australian Sign Language Auslan is Au stralian S ign Lan guage. About Auslan A real language Misconceptions Very different from English ... Bibliography About Auslan A real language Sign language has been in existence in some form for thousands of years, and is referred to in ancient Greek writings. However, for much of its history sign language has been regarded as an inadequate and inferior substitute suitable only for those deaf people "not clever enough" to be able to learn "normal" speech. In recent years, however, research on sign language has proved that sign languages are true languages in every sense. Auslan is formally recognised in Australian Federal policy statements ( Lo Bianco, 1987 Dawkins, 1991 ) as a "community language other than English". In "The Use of Australian Sign Language by Deaf People", (1991), Hyde and Power wrote: "There are about 15,400 Deaf people in Australia who use signs. The majority of these Deaf people use this language every day". Return to top of page Misconceptions There are many misconceptions about the Deaf community and about sign language. As

A fun, stimulating video of baby signs is finally available!" In the last 3-4 years, the popularity of signing with children as young as 6 months old has skyrocketed. Say it With A Sign video series meets this demand by providing a highly effective and entertaining tool for teaching kids basic communication through sign language. Once a child begins to use signs and starts to understand how communication works, signing becomes a fun activity that will provide a solid foundation for speech and language. We believe that signing can be to communication what crawling is to movement. If used in conjunction with the spoken word early on in a child's life it can be a vital stepping stone to their overall speech and language development. Say it With A Sign uses a very simple but effective combination of ASL signs (with a few small modifications for tiny hands), spoken word, written text, colorful
