SignWriting List June 25, 2000 While Amy and I were discussing SpeechWriting, SignWriting and Cued Speech, I remembered a wonderful message from Stefan in Germany, about how learning SignWriting had actually inspired some Deaf students to speak German words... I found his message on March 15, 2000...an excerpt is above... Thank you, Stefan, for sharing this with us. I had NO idea that SignWriting would stimulate speech in some Deaf students, so of course I was so happy to read this.... -- Val ;-) ----------------------------- Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org To Post A Message To The SW List: SignWriting List Archives: https://www.egroups.com/group/sw-l |
