This dictionary included 2,200 signs.
It evolved from the ‘Australian Sign Language Development Project’. A group of Deaf and hearing people representing all states and territories in Australia, with representation from New Zealand being added later; aiming to standardise education of the deaf and document signs as in use by the deaf community on a national level.
It incorporated the signs from the previously published Dictionaries (‘Aid to Communication with the Deaf’, ‘Let´s Talk with our hands’ and ‘Word for Word’.
