Word List Author Note: literally: "body therapy", which Costello's ASL Dictionary agrees with. The sign THERAPY is an initialized sign based on HELP. Note: if both conversants understand that "P.T." means 'physical therapy,' then you can sign P-T. ('O.T.' = Occupational Therapy) Added note: Costello's ASL Dictionary also shows the sign PHYSICAL as an initialized sign (P-handshapes), based on the sign "BODY." NOTE: Fant teaches"physical exam" on page 134: BODY + SEEK/SEARCH (with both hands moving inward, but alternately, not simultaneously).
