In 1989 Dick Claassen, the author of this package, learned sign language from one of his college algebra students who was hearing impaired. Since then he has spent a good deal of his time interpreting for and conversing with the hearing impaired. Dick also conducted dozens of classes where he taught the hearing how to sign. Eventually Dick took the best of what he had developed as a sign language instructor and wrote a superior sign language package for those of us who want to learn to communicate with our hearing impaired friends.

There is an abundance of material here for the beginning signer, but amazingly, if you are truly serious about learning to sign, this software will make it possible for you to communicate in depth with a hearing impaired person. There's no fluff in this package. This is the best straight shooting sign language package for the money you will find anywhere.

Author BIO: Dick Claassen began putting his ideas to paper as a young child, but it wasn't until 1975 that he finally had his first major piece published. The feature magazine article written for The Iowan titled, Build Your Own Dulcimer, launched his free-lance career. It was only a few short years ago that Dick began to break away from factual writing in order to write novels. Dick wanted to accomplish two things in his novel writing. First, he wanted to write about aliens, and he wanted to write about them in a realistic way. Dick drew inspiration from authors like Whitley Strieber and Dr. John E. Mack, both men giants in the field of research in alien abduction. Second, Dick, who has been physically disabled with polio since five-years old, wanted his heroes to be very ABLE physically disabled heroes. Dick collaborated with his coauthor, Diane Drury, whose editorial experience helped craft his story ideas. One year later, ta'Sara's Gift was ready for publication. They have since gone on to write two more novels, Zeta's Child, and The Healers, which round out The Dark Ships Trilogy. Dick has gone on to write five novels: Shadow of Love, LoveSigns, Night Beasts, Plugged-In Souls, and The Raphael Experience. He sometimes writes under the pen name, Alan McGregor. Dick has also recently written a HyperStudio sign language instruction package titled, Serious Signing. Dick has studied writing at the University of Iowa Writer's Workshop. What does Dick do in his spare time? Forget spare time! He co-owns and co-operates Awe-Struck E-Books with Kathryn Struck!
