I am just wondering about the type of assistive technologies you were
thinking of Sebastian, in relation to BSL users?
Video telephony is one technology that could be very helpful. Here is an
example of a project
http://www.reach112.co.uk/index.php/sign-up/2-uncategorised and it may be
worth contacting Uni of Bristol Centre for Deaf studies
http://www.bris.ac.uk/deaf/
The latest IPads are useful with Sign On Screen, a remote video
communication service for British Sign Language (BSL) users.

Hope this starts the ball rolling for more ideas.
Best wishes

Hello there,
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get information about the
