A SIGN language centre is celebrating its busiest year to date.
Deafsign was set up in Stockton in 1998 to provide information, books and education tools for those using sign language.
In September, the group published a dictionary of 1,300 everyday signs, and earlier produced a bilingual software pack.
A spokeswoman for Deafsign said: "It has been a whirlwind 12 months. We have just produced some colourful British Sign Language thank you cards with the fingerspelling alphabet as part of our ongoing deafness and sign language awareness raising work. In June, we also completed translation work of our set of A4 posters into Urdu, Bengali and Gujarati with the help of the National Deaf Children's Society and have provided illustrations for a children's multi-lingual peace book."
The group has just finished work on early years and baby sign language posters, with flashcards for youngsters.
