Ruberslaw Project - Scottish Sign Language variation

The Ruberslaw is an exciting new community based project, a joint working partnership of CommunicationID and CommunityID.

We are in the process of creating a long-term exciting business venture that will be based in Innellan -- on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll. This project will focus on creating work placements and long-term employment opportunities for Deaf people.
