“A Closer Look: Signs for VR Terminology” is an interactive online resource featuring signs that might be used in Vocational Rehabilitation. It includes a video clip of each fingerspelled word, the ASL sign, and a sentence using the sign in context. The term, its definition, and a context sentence are also integrated into the page to provide full access. This resource is a great tool for vocational rehabilitation counselors, interpreters, students who are deaf, staff in Disability Services offices, sign language instructors, professionals in the field of deafness, and those who wish to increase their sign vocabulary.
