Abstract :
Nowadays the Internet users are from different ages and groups. Disabled people are a group of the Internet users. Some Web sites are especially created for these people. One group of the disabled people are deaf persons. They have a special talking language which is named sign language. Here we present a method to encourage them, esp. children, to learn the sign language. In this method, when a deaf person wants to enter a Web site which is created for deaf persons, a word is shown as a movie using a sign language. The user should recognize the word and select it from a list. If the user understands the sign language and recognizes the word, he/she can enter the website. This project has been implemented by PHP scripting language.
