Article: [senit] Extra BSL video clips for Seashell

  We have been assessing someone with an adapted
  version of Seashell for the Grid2. Seashell comes
  with approximately 1000 British Sign Language video
  clips.

  We've been working with the local Hearing Impairment
  Service who have provided a few additional signs but
  it's going to become time consuming  and frustrating
  requesting new signs from them every time we want to
  add to the communication aid vocabulary. I
  understand that some signs will still need to be
  made locally and we'll show the parents how to do it
  and support it ourselves too. However it will save a
  lot of time and effort and make the provision more
  likely to be a success if we can lay our hands on a
  ready made extensive set of video signs.

  So my question is does anyone have access to a much
  larger vocabulary of signed BSL video clips than the
  1000 contained within Seashell?

  Thanks,

  Marcus.
