Signing Resources
"SEE is a form of
communication/instruction in which signs are used in exact English
word order, with some additional signs for conventions such as the "ing"
word ending."
"Signed
Exact English (SEE) was developed in 1972 by Gerilee Gustason. It is
not a language; it is a manually coded form of English that uses
ASL signs supplemented with special signs or inflections that
allow English to be signed exactly as it is spoken."

It is a common language, the acquisition of language, that
informs a cultural sensibility. Hearing people often remark in
reverent, near-mystical tones about how beautiful sign language is,
and to some extent this may be attributed to the inherent movements
of the language itself. But the power of its beauty derives from
what it symbolizes. Its very existence is a testament to people's
will to communicate. It pays tribute to our determination to make
connections in the face of incredible odds. -- Leah Hager Cohen, in
"Train Go Sorry: Inside a Deaf World", page 275
