 TB> Question: Do you have a catalog of adaptive equipment for the deaf, I

 TB> heard that Gaulledet University has an excellent dictionary and I
 TB> would love to have a copy. Please let me know about the above
 TB> questions, and please keep in touch. Bye, Tom Biernat

I'm jumping in here to help a little....

Write to:

Gallaudet University Bookstore
800 Florida Avenue, NE
Washington, D. C.  20002-3695

They have a dictionary, AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE:  A COMPREHENSIVE
DICTIONARY, by Martin L. A. Sternberg, which is the largest and
most complete dictionary of sign language vocabulary ever
published.  The price is $65.00 for a hardcover edition of 1132
pages.

An abridged edition for $14.95 that has 3,300 entries is also
available, entitled AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE DICTIONARY by Martin
L. A. Sternberg.

                      -------

There are many mail-order catalog stores for adaptive equipment,
some of which may have walk-in stores.

Locally speaking (Denver, Colorado area):

You can go to a store in Englewood in person and obtain their
catalog and look at their merchandise:

     Adco's Assistive Communication Center

I got a mailing from them recently but can't find it right now.
They are in the Dry Creek Business Park and you can call them at
290-6227 voice/tdd locally for directions and details.

On a national level,

Try the following:

HARC MERCANTILE, LTD.
P.O. BOX 3055
Kalamazoo, MI  49003-3055

Harris Communications
6541 City West Parkway
Eden Prairie, MN 55344-3248

(they have a variety of catalogs--books, assistive devices for
the hard of hearing, and assistive devices for the Deaf and hard of
hearing (apparently two separate catalogs for the latter two)

... The last thing I saw was this Big Blue Wave!
