Aside from the aging glossaries and unsuitable electronic devices, no reasonable alternatives have been developed or implemented until now. D.E.A.F. is a booklet manual that facilitates interaction between emergency medical staff and patients who are deaf or hard of hearing. It recognizes the grammar, composition, and structure variations between American Sign Language and English. It does not rely on or presume English literacy of the patient. D.E.A.F. is quicker than writing notes and fingerspelling, which redirects critical time to assessment and treatment.
During an emergency situation the medical staff will present the deaf or hard of hearing person with the booklet. The medical staff member starts his/her assessment of the patient. The patient and medical staff will then communicate with each other by using the vocabulary given in the booklet until a qualified interpreter arrives.
