Hedleys College in the UK is an independent college for young adults aged 19 to 25, who have a variety of physical disabilities and learning. In school, Skype is a form of communication that goes beyond words, he says Joanne Rees-proud, director of the University.
"So we can directly involve the use of British Sign Language to communicate, but also makes it possible to collect students - and we read body language in conversation and other social signals, which are so important for the development of skills of communication," she said.
In a video together here, we follow a student, Ryan, who is in a local electronics company in a job and see how sign language is used in a group of Skype video call to contact your support team. Skype makes it easy at the time for them to show support and offer encouragement. This means that Ryan with people to keep in touch, you can trust, even when he is at work.
Support for students, especially in today's April 15 National American Language (ASL) day registration.
