Lámh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lámh (/lɔːv/, from the Irish: lámh [l̪ˠaːw], lit. 'hand') is an augmentative and alternative system of manual communication used in Ireland by developmentally disabled and neurodivergent children and adults.[1][2][3][4][5] Many of the signs are adapted from Irish Sign Language (ISL), used by the Irish Deaf community.[6][7]

History

Lámh was developed in the early 1980s.[8] It was discussed at the Second European Congress on Sign Language Research in Amsterdam in 1985.[9]

Features

Lámh is not a true sign language, as only a limited number of expressions are possible. There are over 500 signs; speech is always used with signs and only key words in a sentence are signed.[8]

Lámh is intended to encourage eye contact, develop vocabulary, promote attention to movement, and relieve frustration.[10][medical citation needed]
