Lámh
Lámh (
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]
