Are you the parent of a hard of hearing or deaf child and living in LEITRIM, DONEGAL, SLIGO or WESTMEATH? We have had many responses to our survey below from parents, but none from these four counties. Please consider completing it so we can represent families from every county :) Our study is on social and emotional development in deaf and hard of hearing children aged 4-17 in Ireland.

Hello Signers :) This week, the National Council for Special Education had the theme of baking and shared lots of fun resources to use at home (I'll link them in the replies). So we thought we'd do a list of vocab in ISL to discuss baking at home. Plenty here to keep you busy over the weekend! Happy signing :)

Good morning signers :) I sent out a call for special requests for vocabulary last week on Twitter and one person asked for some PLACENAMES of Ireland in ISL. I think Donegal wins for most fun ISL sign! If anyone here on FB has requests for vocabulary they would like to learn in ISL, please let me know and I''l try my best :)
