@BSLActNow @MaryJayneDrama @aamedia_org_uk @Signalong I used to work as regional ops manager for @scope - met people with learning and/or communication difficulties. They thought using signs as same as #BSL. I had to be careful to say to them. They said they don’t want to be treated differently: speak same English & sign same BSL!
