Signs

We communicate with Teba in different ways.
Since kindergarten we use sign language, but we sign only the main words for a better understanding what she wants to express.
We started with Makaton. In school they switched to he DGS signs (German Sign Language)  after some years. Some teachers were able to use sign language, others refused it. On her new working place sign language is also uncommon. That's something I can't understand, because there are more workers who needs this for their communication. Thankfully Teba has more possibilities.
At home we use a lot of "unofficial family -signs".
To make a long story short(er):
A friend told me about a Facebook group for augmentative and alternative communication. It is a source of new ideas and motivation. So we started to learn sign language again. Even Teba is motivated.
This weekend we tried to learn the finger alphabet.
The upper picture is a combined sign of I (I) L (love) Y (you)
The bottom row means B L I P :-)
In case that you know other signs: Every country has its own sign language and there are even dialects.
