Signing and Interpreting for the Deaf 2010
Paul Lemmons

PURPOSE: This event encourages participants to develop the skill of signing so that they can communicate and develop relationships with the hearing impaired, thus giving them the opportunity to minister to the needs of the hearing impaired.
IMPORTANT
Video Instruction
If you are with a congregation with children who wish to participate in this event but there is no one qualified to teach them the signs to the songs or Scripture, a DVD is available to assist. The DVD will contain instruction on general signing and the alphabet. It will also include instruction on how to do the introduction and each song as well as the Scripture.
The DVD is structured so that a participant could learn the songs or Scripture all on their own. That, however, is the hardest way to do this. The DVD is best used with the aid of an adult or friend that can critique and guide. Using the DVD, this person does not have to be skilled in signs themselves. They just need to be willing to encourage, watch and compare with what is on the DVD.
It could also be used by a leader who knows signs but is rusty and just needs some help getting started. One could fill in the missing signs from their own vocabulary and then feel confident to teach the children themselves.
There are several options to get the A/V instructions:
- Contact the Event Director to request the DVD, or
- Listen to each item here (you'll need speakers) just click it!
- Download the items you need here. The later can be accomplished by 'right-clicking' the item to download and choosing to 'Save As'. Be sure to make note of where the file is saved!

Audio Recordings
The audio recordings are available in MP3 format here. These recordings are exactly the same as what will be used at the convention. Each congregation is encouraged to download the songs and write them to a CD or load them on an MP3 player. This way the participants will be able to practice with exactly what they will be hearing at the convention.
Please, if you have any questions at all, feel free to call or email the Event Director for answers!
