Battle of the Hands showcases other communication methods

ONE does not usually expect to encounter “hand to hand” tactics at a song contest but that was exactly how competitors at a talent show with a difference showcased their skills.

Deemed the “Battle of the Hands”, the competition saw mainly adults with intellectual disabilities using sign language and actions to perform their favourite tunes.

The competition was part of Lámh Day, an event organised through the services of St John of God to promote alternative modes of communication.
