- 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.
