5 Google Images
While we always need to be aware of copyright for images
sourced from Google Images, this can be an invaluable tool
to find an image in a hurry. Google street view can be a
valuable time saver when you need a photo of a building
(such as a day program, doctor’s building, or shops). http://

6 Australian Sign Language (Auslan)
Signbank
The Auslan Signbank is a language resources site for
Auslan, the language of the Deaf community in Australia.
SPAD members find it helpful using Auslan signs in
conjunction with resources from Key Word Sign Australia in
an AAC system.
In the Auslan Signbank you can search for a sign using
an English keyword or browse keywords alphabetically.
This site is great to be able to see how signs are produced
when still photos or line drawings are not adequate. The
Signbank is useful when preparing for a Key Word Sign
workshop and to keep our key word sign repertoire up to
date!
You can gain free access to the Signbank video clips at
SPAD members love plain English, easy English,
