South
Carolina Standardized Sign Language Vocabulary
Video Resource Project
(Mustang
Sally)
Signs of Development (Signs) in conjunction with
the South Carolina Department of Education are proud to bring
you a resource tool for all of those involved and interested in
the education of Deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) students in the
state of South Carolina. Signs has developed a series of signed
video vocabulary items. These terms are two-dimensional video
signed concepts used specifically in K-12 education.
This
tool contains approximately 6,000 terms that have been provided
by the South Carolina Department of Education and aligns with
the subject and grade level curriculum. Additionally, Signs developed
video representation of the signs found in the Signs for Instruction
manual and has also incorporated previously developed signs contained
in the Technical Signs Resource Dictionary.
We
hope that you enjoy and benefit from this project. For research
purposes, statistics are being collected on the time spent using
the tool as well as the category of users. No identifying information
is being gathered or shared. The ultimate goal is to show a correlation
between use of the tool and increased test scores.

personnel to assuring appropriate service delivery and addresses
professional development for interpreters who choose to work in
