Welcome!

The purpose of the Heritage Sign Consortium is to provide resources for individuals, families and educators to support the development of sign language among heritage signers.

Native signers are exposed to sign language in the home and have many opportunities to develop their signing skills with friends and at school. Heritage signers, on the other hand, are also native signers but often have a wide range of signing ability due to limited exposure and opportunities to practice with same-aged peers (for example, kids of Deaf adults). The resources here are designed to support heritage sign language development, however, they may also benefit the larger signing community.
