Sign Language Is The Language Of Deaf. Deaf People Use It As A Mode Of Communication. United Nations Has Approved The Use Of Sign Language And Stated This As A Right Of Deaf Community. Research And Development Of Sign Language Is Very Necessary. Deaf People From Rural Areas Do Not Have The Sufficient Knowledge Of Sign Language And As A Result They Face Difficulty In Communication With Deaf People From Other Areas As Well As Problems In Education. PAD Has Always Emphasized On Sign Language Research And Development And For This A Research And Development Group Is Working At PAD. PAD Has Published Five Sign Language Books Including Urdu Grammar For Deaf In Sign Language (Mr. Irfan Mumtaz; Current President Of Pakistan Association Of The Deaf Was The One To Take This Initiative For The First Time In Pakistan). We Also Published Pakistan Sign Language CD In Collaboration With IUCN.
