Signing Space

Signing Space


It is important to remember that you are not confined to the sign space immediately in front of your body during conversation. Sign space is only limited by how far your arms can reach. The bigger your message or the crowd you’re signing too, the more of your sign space you use. Here are some examples:


 Very large group or strong message
  •  Yelling 
  • Signing from a stage 
  • Extreme excitement


 
Medium group or Slightly Strong Message
  • Signing in a classroom
  • Singing to a group
     
      
Small Group or Normal Message

  • Small group                                           
  • Normal conversation size                            


One-on-One or Private Conversation

  •  Personal/Quiet Signing
