Project helps teachers and parents learn Pakistan Sign Language

A project in Pakistan is helping teachers and parents learn Pakistan Sign Language for Deaf children in primary school. The project developed a web site, a mobile phone application, a DVD, and a book that all help teach Pakistan Sign Language. These teaching tools emphasize vocabulary that people can use with Deaf primary school students. This document explains, step by step, how the project developed these materials. Parents, teachers, and sometimes siblings of Deaf children in Pakistan are learning to sign.
