American Sign Language Publishers
The following companies and publishers create and/or sell American Sign Language (ASL) products, books and curriculum.

SignWriting 
SignWriting is a writing system which uses visual symbols to represent the handshapes, movements, and facial expressions of signed languages. It is an "alphabet" - a list of symbols used to write any signed language in the world. SignWriting makes it possible to have books, newspapers, magazines, dictionaries, and literature written in signs.
It can be used to teach signs and signed language grammar to beginning signers, or it can be used to teach other subjects, such as math, history, or English to skilled signers. Website includes many free downloads to get you started, incuding videos and free charts.
