About Us

Hi.  My name is Simon Harvey, I am an education hearing support assistant.  I work with children who have hearing impairments within schools on the Channel Island of Guernsey.  I designed 'Sign to Me' as a result of my frustration with the lack of good quality CD-ROM resources available for BSL users with literacy difficulties.  This software package was really designed only to be used by my students here in Guernsey, but seeing it in use I realised its potential and decided that I would like to share it with other people who could make use of it.

I setup Waterfall Rainbows during 2005 as a way to market this software and make it available to people throughout the UK (and beyond!).

Who are We?

Simon Harvey

Simon Harvey - Concepts, designer, and producer

I currently work with hearing impaired children in Guernsey.  In January 2006 I will be beginning to study for my teaching qualifications, after which I plan to train as a Teacher of the Deaf.  I am hoping that the proceeds from the sales of this software will help with the funding for my training.


Please email me with your comments and feedback, I look forward to hearing from you.
