When I'm searching for a sign, these are the steps I take, in this order (most efficient to least):
Step 1. Internet search with the search terms "Lifeprint" and "ASL" -
- example: "peach ASL lifeprint"
- Here's the Why: the Lifeprint website is run by highly skilled and knowledgeable Bill Vicars, who is Deaf, married to a Deaf woman and fully immersed in the Deaf community. This is important because you can trust that he shares out only true ASL signs his information will be culturally appropriate in terms of how it relates to the Deaf community.
- example: "peach ASL sign"
- Here's the Why: ASL = American Sign Language. We always want to use true ASL signs whenever possible. If you type in "baby sign" or something similar, you may end up with a made-up sign rather than a true ASL sign.
