Sign Friends v3.7 REGISTRATION $ 30.00
MISC JUL90 SING LANGUAGE FRIENDS
FILES: signf37.sdn
Update
Sign Friends is an interactive program designed to teach sign
language utilizing the graphic and animation capabilities of
the computer. It is compressed into three files so that it
can be extracted onto either a floppy or hard drive system.
A .DOC file (SIGN.DOC), also accompanies these, describing
installation procedures.
Written in GWBasic, the user will need either that or BASICA
if he/she has a true IBM and CGA capabilities in order to run
the program. Further details are described in a read.me file
included with the program.
Sign Friends is topically arranged according to chapters of
approximately seven words each, with the exception of the
alphabet and numbers. There are over 200 words to date in
Sign friends. An index is included to help the user find a
subject quickly. Each chapter includes a practice and a test
portion. Student results are displayed at the end of each
test.
Sign Friends is totally menu-driven and requires little or no
computer competence for its use. The vocabulary is on an
elementary level, little reading ability is required, thus it
is suitable for use with children as well as adults. The
program includes a fingerspeller. Topics include, the
alphabet, numbers, days of the week, colors, interrogative
words, emotions, prepositions, important and more important
persons, activities associated with morning and evening,
places, seasons, cognitive words, basic survival words,
transportation, communication, setting the table, the body in
space, clothing, medical words, shopping, opposites and more
opposites, sports, and more. As this is still being written
many more topics will be included in the future.
Registration entitles the user to free updates for up to a
year.
Sign Friends was written for my brain-injured child who,
while hearing, is unable to speak and depends on sign for
expressive communication. It is my hope that a world more
fluent in sign will be a world more accessible to her and
children like her.
