The goal of the parent grant is to understand how language input during early childhood affects vocabulary acquisition in American Sign Language (ASL). As part of the parent grant, we have developed three ASL assessments for young deaf children. One was originally intended to be delivered online and made publicly available as a major initiative in the parent grant (the ASL-CDI 2.0), and the other two were intended to be delivered in person (the EEAT and the ERAT). Because of COVID-19, administering the EEAT and ERAT has become unwieldy, and an alternate method of delivering them is needed. As part of an NSF-funded project, we already developed a platform called SignLab for collecting and coding video data for a specific research study. The specific aims of the supplement are 1) to use the code base from SignLab to convert it from a single-use product to a platform that researchers could use to collect and code video data of all kinds, 2) to use SignLab to deliver the EEAT and ERAT, and 3) to enable researchers and clinicians to access, administer, and track results from the EEAT and ERAT. This software will serve two purposes. It will remove significant barriers in the field of sign language research, making it much more efficient to develop large-scale machine-readable sign language datasets. Additionally, the vast majority of deaf children are at risk for delayed language acquisition, and making the EEAT and ERAT widely accessible will help clinicians, states, and researchers identify language delays early when interventions are most effective.

父母赠款的目标是了解童年时期的语言输入如何影响词汇 用美国手语（ASL）获取。作为父母赠款的一部分，我们开发了三个ASL 评估年轻聋哑儿童。一个最初是打算在线交付并公开交付的 作为父母赠款（ASL-CDI 2.0）的主要倡议，另外两个旨在 亲自交付（EEAT和ERAT）。由于与19 covid-19，管理EAT和ERAT具有 变得笨拙，需要一种替代方法。作为NSF资助项目的一部分，我们 已经开发了一个名为SIGNLAB的平台，用于收集和编码视频数据，以进行特定的研究。 补充剂的具体目的是1）使用SignLab的代码库从一次使用中将其转换 研究人员可以用来收集和编码各种的视频数据的产品，2）使用SignLab 交付EEAT和ERAT，以及3）使研究人员和临床医生能够访问，管理和跟踪 来自EEAT和ERAT的结果。该软件将有两个用途。它将消除重大障碍 手语研究领域，使开发大型机器可读的效率更高 手语数据集。此外，绝大多数聋哑儿童都有延迟语言的风险 获取以及使EEAT和ERAT广泛访问将有助于临床医生，州和研究人员 当干预措施最有效时，请尽早确定语言延迟。
