Thanks everyone for your input! The people I work with are moderatly to severly MR. Unfortunatly he's not able to fingerspell or write what he's signing out. I also don't think he would know the sign for kidney, but I'll look into that. Thanks!

Hmmm...no he knows the sign for upset. His sign comes straight out from stomach and then back again. I'm sure it has something to do with his stomach pain, I just wasn't sure if it was an actual sign. Thanks!

I work with a Deaf man who often has stomach issues. So I believe this sign has something to do with not feeling well. I think I have seen him sign it 2 different ways: 'P' bouncing off his stomach or middle finger bouncing off the stomach. One time he was doing it very abruptly. :dunno...

Thanks everyone!:ty:

Sorry if this is coming across as confusing! Basically I have a list of 12 Human Rights. I'm looking to find out how to sign them.

No, I'll be signing also I'll be photocopying pictures of the signs and passing them out. Most staff know some basic signs but could never sign these Human rights. I need to make an aid to help them.

Hello! I work for a local human service company that serves MR adults. We have many Deaf individuals and I am trying to make a sign version of the monthly Human Rights that we teach. I'm not sure what is the best way to break these english sentences down. Can anybody help? I have a...
