Learning Disabled Adult & Sign Language: there is a special name for this type of signing. can someone name?

Question

some have referred to it as "junk" sign language. i am assuming this is just a nickname.

Answer 1

Makaton

Edit: This form of sign language is a simplified for of British Sign Language and also involves some speach and symbols (i.e. picture of a bus used when talking about the bus). It is mostly for communicating basic needs, e.g. signing for "toilet" or "drink" and can't really be used for conversation.

Answer 2

ASL or American Sign Language is extremely popular but not the only kind.
