English to British sign language maternity translation book. This book offers over 200 accurate and authenticated, professionally illustrated British Sign Language translations that are specific to maternity with the goal of helping Midwives and health professionals communicate with Deaf and hard of hearing people when accessing maternity care.
With the help of the RAD - The Royal Association for Deaf people, Marcel Hirshman - Deaf consultant,Deaf interpreter and translator, And Hybrid Industries for the illustrations, we at Integrated Maternity have created a tool that we believe will help to raise awareness of British Sign Language and the difficulties Deaf people face when accessing maternity care as well as informing Deaf people of their choices when it comes to person-centred care.
The English to British Sign Language Communication book allows for simple yet effective communication between health professionals and Deaf people. Midwives and health professionals will be able to present questions and statements that are specific to the Deaf person's maternity journey whether it's at an Antenatal clinic or at their bedside on the labour ward.
The English to British Sign Language Communication book also comes with online access via QR codes to video translations of almost all of the words and phrases in the book, as well as video translations of detailed explanations that further expand on that particular translation, with thanks to Rahda and The RAD for translating and shooting the videos.
***Disclaimer***
This book is not to replace an interpreter.It is designed to be used as a tool to raise awareness for British sign language as well as allowing Midwives and health professionals to communicate with Deaf people using our simple words and phrases both in the book and via our website (QR codes )when an interpreter isn't available. The book offers the ability for readers to raise their awareness of BSL and learn of the choices available to them, in BSL that they may not have otherwise known.
