Even a signed ‘Hello’ can mean so much to the Lámh user who relies on Lamh signs to communicate.

Lámh users attending mainstream and special schools benefit so much when school staff and fellow pupils communicate with them using signs. The Lámh user’s classmates can be enthusiastic signers as well as being interested in learning about Lámh.
