Within the field of Special Educational Needs (SEN) the use of BSL signs to support spoken language, known as Sign Supported English (SSE), is now widely accepted. There is also growing support for the use of sign language with all children, from babies onwards, because the visual and kinaesthetic elements can offer alternative channels for language and communication development that can greatly benefit learners. This publication is designed to include all who sign. Some signs have more than one version and the commonly used variations are included but, as with learning any language, the best way to learn is by face to face contact.
