The Child HKSL Corpus was established in 2002 as part of a research project entitled "The Development of Hong Kong Sign Language by Deaf Children", which was supported by Hong Kong Research Grant Council. The corpus has been supported by Dr Alex K. Yasumoto's donation since 2006. The database represents the first systematic archive of child sign language acquisition in Asia. It documents Deaf interactions using digital technology so that the language data can be preserved to support future Deaf education projects. Documentation of the sign language acquisition data allows researchers to explore the nature of sign languages and thus support various theoretical research topics. The establishment of the corpus also offers insight on directions in Deaf education and gives support for the training of Deaf researchers.

The Child HKSL-Cantonese Bilingual Corpus was established with a donation from Dr Alex K. Yasumoto. This corpus is the first bimodal bilingual corpus examining both the signed and spoken language development of Deaf children in Hong Kong.
This corpus contributes to our understanding of how deaf children potentially become bilingual language users when they are exposed to both a signed language and a spoken language at a young age
