Home sign

Home sign is a way to communicate with people who are deaf and who have not learned sign language. It is like creating your own special language that you can use to talk to your family or friends who also know your home sign language. Home sign can include using gestures, facial expressions or even modified signs from a formal sign language like American Sign Language. It is important to know that home sign is unique to each individual or family, and it is not a standardized language used by others who are deaf or know sign language.
