About S.E.E.

Skill Evaluations

The E.S.S.E. was developed to provide a means of identifying the dominant signing style of an individual and to provide meaningful, helpful feedback on areas of strength and areas in need of improvement.  It provides an overall expressive skills rating as well as information on the type, level, and degree of understanding demonstrated receptively for both English-related signing and signing in American Sign Language.

Parent Information

Since 95% of the parents of hearing-impaired children are hearing persons with no previous contact with deafness, the challenge of helping these families communicate with one another is a great one. The first few years of a child's life are vital in establishing parent-child rapport and communication. Many new parents do not know what to do or where to turn.  We can help!  Click below to receive a parent packet.

 Resources

Like many ideas, SEE was born out of a sense of frustration with existing methods and the poor educational levels of many of the deaf and hard of hearing students we encountered in our teaching and interpreting careers.  We brought our personal and professional perspectives to the drawing board and SEE was founded. The Signing Exact English text was our original product. Browse our expanding teaching and learning materials for SEE.  Click below to visit the Modern Signs Press website.
