Signalong is a sign-supporting system based on British Sign Language, designed for children and adults with communication difficulties which are mostly associated with learning disabilities or autism.
The Signalong Group is a UK charity which has researched and published the widest range of signs in Britain. These are drawn and described following a consistent method that enables users to access vocabulary according to need. Signalong is currently working with Widgit Software to make its clear sign illustrations accessible through Communicate: In Print and Symwriter.
Resources published by the charity cater for a range of ages and ability from pre-school and pre-language up to preparation for employment. Training delivered through its national network of tutors focus on teaching communication skills and access to sign vocabulary. Free sign research and advice are provided for users.
Signalong is a member of the Communication Trust, promoting better communication for children through Hello!, the National Year of Communication 2011.
