There are sets of special hand signals for use with ASL for the  
specialized vocabulary of the SCA. I have a little bit of info in the  
DISABILITES section of the Florilegium and have permission to add  
several more articles as my time permits.

I don't remember sign language interpreting being as common in  
Ansteorra as in other kingdoms, but perhaps I've just not noticed it.

Of course in many courts I've been in, no one past the first couple of  
rows can hear anything, anyway.
