Why Signing Exact English (S.E.E.)?

Signing Exact English (S.E.E.) is a method of signing that allows all the parts of English to be seen and heard at the same time. Most S.E.E. signs are borrowed from American Sign Language (ASL) or are modified ASL signs. S.E.E. follows English closely, while ASL is a complete language of its own. S.E.E. can be integral to helping deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) children gain full English proficiency so they are better able to interact in a primarily hearing-oriented society.
