2018 EDITION
Since this book was first published in 1999, the situation in health care settings remains little changed for many deaf patients and for children and adults who have special educational needs and use signs in their communication.
After being out of print for some time, this useful reference of British Sign Language (BSL) signs continues to be sought after by health care workers wishing to ensure the comfort and well-being of their patients.
The contents have stood the test of time and in view of such continued interest, this book has been made available again through Amazon-Print-on-Demand. The dimensions 5" x 7.8" are slightly larger than the original.
Also available on KINDLE for easy mobile access.
The signs and communication advice within are intended to assist in everyday conversations and exchanges to ensure that sign language users are included in the events around them, and above all, can be made comfortable and given reassurance.
The contents are not intended as an advanced specialist medical sign language reference or to replace professional communicators and interpreters.
