Cath Smith and Dr Wendy Uttley
This welcome new publication contains everyday British Sign Language (BSL) vocabulary for use in the home and at school.
It is intended to encourage families, teachers, classmates and all those in contact with children with Down Syndrome to use signs to support their speech and communication.
Topics include Family, Feelings, Health, Actions/Instructions, Home, School, Manners and Time, making it an excellent resource in supporting the inclusion of all children and a particularly useful reference for classes and signing clubs.
Dr Wendy Uttley’s introduction clearly outlines how the use of signs and speech together can help language and communication develop, pointing out the benefits it can bring to all involved. It’s a valuable resource.
