An indispensable resource for anyone seeking to bridge the communication gap between English and Australian Sign Language, The VSDC Dictionary of Auslan: English to Auslan is a comprehensive reference work produced under the auspices of VSDC — Services for Deaf Children. This authoritative volume presents a structured, English-to-Auslan translation guide, making it an essential companion for educators, parents, carers, interpreters, and anyone working with or within the Australian Deaf community. Auslan (Australian Sign Language) is a rich and fully formed visual language with its own grammar and syntax, and this dictionary serves as a vital gateway to understanding and using it with confidence. Edited by Brian Bernal and Lyn Wilson, the work reflects a deep commitment to accessibility and inclusive communication, positioning itself as both a practical tool and a cultural document. At a time when resources for Australian Sign Language were scarce, this dictionary represented a landmark contribution to Deaf education and advocacy in Australia. Whether used in a classroom, a therapy setting, or at home, it remains a testament to the tireless work of those dedicated to empowering Deaf children and their communities — leaving readers to wonder just how much richer our shared world becomes when every voice, signed or spoken, is given space to be heard.
