Family-Centered Practices and American Sign Language (ASL)

Exceptional Children, 2014
Families with children who are deaf face many important decisions, especially the mode(s) of communication their children will use. The purpose of this focus group study was to better understand the experiences and recommendations of families who chose American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary mode of communication and to identify strategies that ...

A novel approach to American Sign Language (ASL) phrase verification using reversed signing

2010 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition - Workshops, 2010
We propose a novel approach for American Sign Langauge (ASL) phrase verification that combines confidence measures (CM) obtained from aligning forward sign models (the conventional approach) to the input data with the CM's obtained from aligning reversed sign models to the same input.

American sign language (ASL) recognition based on Hough transform and neural networks

Expert Systems with Applications, 2007
Abstract The work presented in this paper aims to develop a system for automatic translation of static gestures of alphabets and signs in American sign language. In doing so, we have used Hough transform and neural networks which is trained to recognize signs.

AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE (ASL) RECOGNITION USING OPENCV

International Journal of Engineering Applied Sciences and Technology, 2023
One of the biggest challenges for thosewho are deaf or dumb is the lack of access to communication. Here, we'll createa OpenCV based system for converting American sign language to text. Computer vision model for the dumb and deaf are a revolutionary system that has the potential to improve the quality of life for those whoare affected by hearing or ...

Visual learning curves for American sign language (ASL) alphabet

International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 2021
Abstract The study objectives include: 1) to identify the visual key areas and the learning curves when learning the ASL alphabet, 2) to identify the impact of practice on key visual areas, and 3) to identify differences in visual learning curves between signs.

Hearing parents learning American Sign Language with their deaf children: a mixed-methods survey

Applied Linguistics Review, 2022
Hearing parents with deaf children face difficult decisions about what language(s) to use with their child. Sign languages such as American Sign Language (ASL) are fully accessible to deaf children, yet most hearing parents are not proficient in ASL ...
