Abstract
To develop different Communication Skills (CS) on deaf children (such as making signs, reading, writing or speaking) we propose a Sign Language Teaching Model (SLTM) called Multi-language Cycle for Sign Language Understanding (MuCy). Also, we conduct an observational study at the Association of Parents of Deaf Children of Salamanca (ASPAS) in order to measure the development of CS on deaf children by using a kit of Sign Language Pedagogical Materials (SLPMs), as well as the use of Augmented Reality (AR) as complementary tools for teaching Sign Language (SL) within a Collaborative Learning Environment with Mixed-Reality (CLEMR).
