Signing For Dummies® |
| Adan R. Penilla; Angela Lee Taylor |
| The fun and easy way to get started with ASL–complete with a video CD-ROM More than one million Americans use American Sign Language (ASL), including 500,000 deaf people. For anyone who has a deaf family member, friend, or colleague, this friendly guide shows how to get up to speed on signing basics–and start communicating right away. Profusely illustrated with step-by-step drawings and written by two ASL interpreters, one of whom is deaf, the book walks people through ASL grammar and syntax and provides vocabulary for a wide variety of everyday situations. To make the book even more useful, the authors include special sections on deaf culture and signing etiquette. The video CD-ROM–one of the first ever offered with a sign language reference–demonstrates conversations from the book and helps people build signing proficiency.
Adan R. Penilla II (Pueblo, CO), a nationally certified ASL interpreter with sixteen years of experience, is President of the Colorado Registry of Interpreters, Pikes Peak Region. Angela Lee Taylor (Pueblo, CO), an Interpreter Coordinator at the Colorado Springs School for the Deaf and Blind, brings the perspective of the deaf community to this project.
