i have a rare medical condition that makes neurological regulation of breathing problematic during conversation. it is invisible and is not being respected enough as a severe disability by others. i cant get my family or caregivers to try to learn to sign, and can use advice on this, and the library homebound program wont allow av materials to be checked out for medical need, and now that i asked for review of this policy has stopped my program altogether. any advocacy ideas? anyone else make similar use of sign languagge? i hate the gasping i get with too much speech or the stress of others disrespecting my problem because they cant believe it, so encouragement is good too and any help for me in getting better at signing will also allow me to teach others and prevent myself from attempting to speak when i shouldnt. and how can i use computer for tty? phone calls are hardest and so important as i have ill elderly relatives far away. does anyone know any organizations that would donate a better narrator type program that i could use that would read aloud what i wanted after typing it enough to use on phone? thanks to all of you who answer.

I am a school liaison in a pediatric clinic for special needs children. I counsel parents, communicate w/ schools about programs or exchange info with them. This site is a GREAT resource to give to parents and schools. I'm browsing it myself, and it is addictive.

This is a wonderful feature for those of us who are trying to learn, and come here for help. I think the thing that I'd hope to see most, is of the signs that there are two versions (the word "who," for example has two signs that mean the same thing) ... which form of the sign is more widely used, or preferred; and what circumstances mght dictate using different version.
Thnks again - and keep up the GREAT WORK!!
