The term 'TALKS WITH ONE'S HANDS' can be summarized as a form of communication that uses hand gestures and body language to convey meaning. It is also known as sign language, which is a visual-manual language that uses hand shapes, facial expressions, and body movements to communicate. Sign language is used by deaf and hard of hearing people as their primary means of communication, but it is also used by people who are not deaf or hard of hearing as a way to communicate with those who are.
