Literature in sign language
MTM offers literature in sign language in the DVD format, via legimus.se. Most of the works are books for children and teenagers, but there are also a small number of titles for adults.
Swedish sign language has no printed form, but is a dynamic and visual language. As a result, when printed books are transposed to sign language, they adopt film as their medium. Sign language is not international, but differs from country to country. You can read more about Swedish sign language on the website of the Language Council of Sweden (Språkrådet).
Borrow and read
You can search for books in sign language on legimus.se. To borrow, contact your library. Any library holding a talking book permit can download literature in sign language.
The book can be read either with the help of a DVD player connected to your television, or on a computer, using Windows Media Player or WinDVD.
The books are produced by the National Agency for Special Needs Education and Schools (Specialpedagogiska skolmyndigheten), generally known as SPSM. MTM, itself, does not produce any sign language literature.
