== == Many states have unique signs, but most are fingespelled out. There is a link provided which should explain it for you.
You spell them out. I don't think that each state actually has a sign assigned to it.
Some states are spelled out, such as Ohio. Some states are represented by using the postal abbreviations (MO for Missouri, Conn. for Connecticut, Mass. for Massachusettes, etc.). And other states do have a sign such as California, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, to name a few.
Also, if there are just a few states that you will be referring to and you have access to one - in addition to finger-spelling the name, point to the state's location on a US map.

There are unique signs for each state in ASL, but they are not standardized. Deaf communities may have developed their own signs over time. It's best to check with local Deaf communities or ASL resources for the specific signs used for each state.
