Title: Can You Read Hand Signals
Post by: JohnyMac on December 13, 2014, 10:46:02 AM

I ran across this today and I thought I would share.

An often forgotten piece of field-craft there.

People really need to become familiar with them.

Thank you for posting JM.

I used to be conversationally fluent in ASL, but have long since lost my skills.  When I left my parent's church I lost my connection with the Deaf & HoH community.  That said, Mr. WPW and I do have agreed-upon hand signs for the dog - sit has one, stay another, etc.  Between what remains of my ASL and the dog ones we could probably cobble together something we'd understand.
