ASL-PLAY

The ASL-PLAY dataset is a valuable resource for researchers studying the development of American Sign Language (ASL) in young deaf or hard of hearing children. It includes detailed transcriptions of 24 parent-child interactions, featuring children aged 9 to 70 months. These sessions capture real-time ASL communication between deaf or hard of hearing children and their parents, who may be either deaf or hearing. The dataset focuses on both ASL signs and visual attention cues, such as gaze direction and object manipulation, providing a comprehensive look at how language and attention interact during play. This resource is ideal for exploring language acquisition and visual attention patterns in deaf children using ASL, making it an essential tool for researchers interested in the intersection of language and visual communication in early childhood​
