One student in particular >will benefit greatly from this method. SignWriting List January 24, 2002 Welcome, Brooke, to the SignWriting List! And thank you for your introduction. I am happy to know that SignWriting will be used with your deaf students... There is another teacher, Robin Homesley, and also an interpreter, Donna Thompson, who work together in North Carolina, at the New Century Middle School and Union Pines High School. Robin used SignWriting last year to teach a profoundly deaf student that is also mentally disabled. I understand that the student did very well with SignWriting and read and wrote for the first time in her life... And it was Donna who took the brave "first step" with SignWriting with deaf students, and found that they read SignWriting quickly too... I would suggest contacting them. Perhaps you can support each other?: Robin Homesley Teacher of the Deaf Donna Thompson Lead Interpreter Joan Frye, Principal New Century Middle School 1577 Union Church Road Cameron, NC. 28326 910-947-1301 George Griffin, Ed.D Principal Union Pines High School 1981 Union Church Road Cameron, North Carolina, 28326 910-947-5511 Lisa Akers Assistant Principal, Union Pines 910-947-5511 |
