Teckenskatten

Open a world of characters with the help of the Treasure of Characters. In a playful way, children get the opportunity to explore sign language, which is the mother tongue of many deaf children. The sign tax is also for children who want to learn signs such as support, TSS or TAKK.

The app is for preschoolers who are deaf, hard of hearing or hard of hearing. You can play on your own or together with other children and adults, such as teachers and parents. The app is suitable for children from about three years of age and up. The child does not need to be literate because the app is based on images.

The words are drawn by children on film and as a help there are now also drawn signs. An adult can look at the drawn sign and help the child draw.

The app is for those who want to learn
- Swedish sign language
- characters as support (TSS)
- signs as alternatives and supplementary communication (THANKS)
- other methods with character support

For example
- children with deafness
- children with hearing loss
- hearing children
- parents
- pedagogues and special pedagogues

- This is how the app works -

The token tax consists of two parts. In the library there are films with children drawing and in the game you get to use what you have learned by pairing a sign with the right picture.

The app contains cartoon words for things (nouns), colors and numbers. They are grouped according to categories such as animals, furniture, toys and other things that are close at hand for children.

As a help for adults, there are drawn signs. It can be a support if it is difficult to see how the child draws on the film.

In the library, you can explore sign language by choosing between three words. There are three cards with drawn pictures representing the words in a certain category. A movie is played with a child drawing. The word is said out loud as an aid to hearing.

An adult can use drawn signs if it is difficult to see what the child has drawn on the film.

The game consists of pairing a character with one of three pictures. You will hear the word when you guessed correctly and you can watch the movie as many times as you want.

- Swedish sign language, TSS and THANK YOU -

The app can be used to learn Swedish sign language, signs as support (TSS), signs as alternatives and supplementary communication (TAKK) and other methods with sign support. As for the words in the app, TSS and TAKK coincide in the vast majority of cases with Swedish sign language used as a basis.
