Signs of Health

Deaf people can be at grave risk in health care settings because their communication needs are not being met. This work seeks to overcome these barriers, with clear communication advice, an illustrated sign vocabulary, and a DIY section which explains how classifying handshapes can be used to describe medical procedures/equipment, along with a 1000 word index, the fingerspelling alphabet, and useful addresses. It provides a source of information for deaf awareness and BSL classes for students, tutors, families, communicators, social workers and teachers.
