Discription:
2016 KINDLE EDITION - NEW DEVELOPMENTSSince Signs of Health was first published in
1999 the situation for many Deaf patients and those with special communication needs in health
care settings remains little changed.The printed version of this book has proved extremely
valuable to carers and medical staff, many of whom may be in contact with Deaf BSL (British Sign
Language) users for the first time. BSL signs are also now increasingly used to support spoken
communication (Sign Supported English, or SSE) with people with learning disability and
additional speech and communication needs.Professional interpreters/communicators provide vital
services when sign language users require medical care. To further support the individual needs
of patients, this book aims to assist communication in the everyday procedures and patient
comfort that can help reassure those in health settings that needs are not overlooked - the sign
vocabulary covers general care and comfort rather than medical terms per se which are more
appropriately dealt with by interpreting professionals. The contents have stood the test of time and
we now wish to increase accessibility by publishing in this Kindle format - for instant download and
easy reference on the go.The pages are in textbook fixed format to keep the text with the relevant
pictures - with built-in notebook, flashcard capability, multicolour highlighting, dictionary, wiki and
translation links &#8211for kindle device or tablet and smart phone, Mac and PCs using the free
Kindle reader apps.Contains 250 illustrated signs and an innovative section explaining the use of
BSL classifying handshapes for on the spot help in clarifying procedures. The background
introduction gives a very succinct and clear introduction to the language implications for sign
language users in medical settings. The development of mobile applications opens up many new
possibilities for improving care and communication. Learners can be further supported by our
LET&#8217SSIGN BSL publications. We welcome your feedback in planning any future
