NEEDED- Science ASL resources
I'm taking an advanced organic chemistry class and the college is providing an interpreter.
Awesome. But, this is such a technical subject that even if I get an interpreter who knows the signs, I'm afraid I won't. The college can arrange for remote captioning but the thing about remote captioning is that you never know who you are going to get so you can't provide them with vocab ahead of time AND the prof has a very strong accent. So PLEASE let me know of any books or websites with very technical signs. Thanks Buddies! |

Well, I did a few days worth of research and found the following sites with scientific/technical signs:
MSSE | IdeaTools DEAF STEM Technical Terms: Terms Home Signs for technical/specialized vocabulary - A Deaf and Hard of Hearing Abilities Home COMETS: Welcome Science of Learning Center on Visual Language and Visual Learning (VL2) :: Science/Mathematics Sign Lexicon :: I hope this will help other people. |

As good as that dictionary is, it is still not the "Bible" of ASL. Great if you want to compare it to the Oxford dictionary, however if you are talking about signs that are specific to a certain field, then you would need more than just one or two dictionaries.

 If you rely on Costello and I convince you to buy a Sternberg dictionary, you will be so amazed by the better illustration, description, cross reference,, etc.......

I have it on my wish list now Ms. Bots. I use a certain website to order books, I put in the title and what I want to pay, when it shows up I am notified. Again, thanks!
I do like some of the online refs that were posted above. New to me! |

I think the OP means that he needs technical science signs to be able to understand what the professor said in the science lab. This must be his major in science courses. Sometimes you only have to sign in fingerspelling or make up the sign that is not found in ASL books for your classes. I know what you (OP) talking about. I understand your situation. I don't have any idea about the science technical signs in any kind of books. Maybe you will have to ask your special education college counselor if there is a technical signs somewhere on campus and she will probably give you some ideas where to look for the right signs book for difficult words in college. I hope you will find it.

After 1 week of class those sites have been really useful.
I also requested an InterLibrary Loan for "Signs for science and mathematics". Yesterday my interpreter didn't show up. Not cool. I'm making my own Organic Chemistry dictionary. Eventually I might put it online. |

I just grabbed a molecular model kit, made the molecules and we finished before everybody else. I'm getting a new interpreter for the lecture b/c the contract company kept not showing up. I think I confuse my professors and interpreters because my receptive sign skills are really good but my expressive skills aren't that great and I speak "really well" (a term that annoys me). And one on one, I hear really well (comparatively) but in the real world I'm functionally deaf. But I can't understand my foreign professor in quiet...hopefully the rest of the semester will go well. My professor didn't mind that I left class when the interpreter didn't show up. I sent an email because I felt bad for leaving but the prof completely understood. |

When I was in grad school, I asked for interpreters who also have MS/MA degrees so they knew what I was going through. The American Chemical Society and the American Physics Society have section for members with disabilities. AAAS, NSF and NRC/NAS/NAP have books relating to disabilities.
IIRC, SLA (now purple communications but many terps are leaving for Sorenson) have a few interpreters with MS like biology. You can try them via video relay interpreting. Is the DSS office familiar with the deaf??? Since 90% of college students with disabilities are LD, ADHD, etc, very few are familiar with deaf issues. Quote:
