It emphasizes the importance of communication access and the unique role of professionals in the Deaf community.

How to Sign “Orthophoniste Langue Des Signes“

1. Start with your dominant hand in a fist, representing the concept of a “professional” or “expert.” Position your hand near your mouth, palm facing inward.
2. Move your hand away from your mouth and slightly downwards while opening your hand into a flat shape, indicating the transition from speech to sign language. This illustrates the role of the orthophoniste.
3. Next, use your non-dominant hand to form the sign for “langue des signes” by creating the letter ‘L’ with your dominant hand and moving it in a circular motion to represent the concept of language.
4. Throughout the sign, maintain a facial expression that reflects a professional demeanor, showing confidence and clarity in communication.

Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to use facial expressions, which are crucial in ASL to convey meaning and emotion.
