Most Deaf1children are born to non-Deaf parents and have little to no contact with Sign Language (SL). SL is the natural language of the Deaf, necessary for intellectual development. They are a complete linguistic system, with grammar, syntax, semantics, etc. and they allow for the expression of abstract thoughts. SLs are used to create and disseminate information, science, and knowledge. They are vital for communication, identity, culture, and citizenship for the Deaf. There are very few studies to inform the design of Learning Objects (LO) for bilingual Deaf Education and Literacy. LO is system-based artifacts used to teach some subject.

This article presents the process educators could follow to create such LO to be used by the Deaf child her interlocutor
