"Hearing impaired"? June 1, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

It may be a good idea, and it may provide some useful sign language, but the author of the book should know better than to use the term "hearing impaired" on a sign language book. The term is considered offensive to Deaf people, who do not feel impaired in any way.

Reasonable Introduction February 10, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book provides a reasonable introduction to sign language. There are lots of pictures demonstrating the different signs used in case a situation occurs where you may have to help a hearing imparied person. The book also includes pictures of the actual alphabet in sign language. This is a good introduction, however if you are somebody interested in learning sign language itself, I would recommend taking a class at a community college rather than reading any books on it. Learning things hands on is usually the best way to not only learn something, but also in retaining information.
