Sign Language is not universal. Each country has their own unique signing system. Our annual calendars and curriculum and teaching aids are created with American Sign Language or ASL. ASL is also regional. In the United States their can be several signs for an English concept. We have chosen the signs most commonly used in the western states.

The preferred term in the Deaf Community is Deaf, rather than hearing impaired, and never deaf-mute or deaf and dumb. Please see below for more of an explanation.

Our ASL drawings use lighter colored hands or "shadow hands" at the beginning of the signing position. Darker colored hands are the ending position.
