The old dictionary entries that were posted here are now available as Technical & specialized vocabulary resource dictionary. I am hoping in the next 5 years to expand this CD dictionary. As I learn new signs I will be posting them again at this site before they are used to expand the CD. Find the desired letter above. If I have any entries there, the letter will show up as a clickable link. I already have hundreds more items in my files to add here, once I get the time, so I hope to again serve as a vocabulary resource. You are welcome to contact me at if you have specific terms you are looking for but don't see here.

The dictionary is set up in major categories and further subdivided into categories making navigation as simple as point and click and each entry shows David as the sign model signing the term.

This is a must-have workshop for any educational interpreter and has applications for interpreters working in any setting. To order.
