Thanks for this message...I am concerned that we have become so focused on learning how to use the SW Fingerspelling Fonts, that we will forget your special request... Is there anyone on the List who can help Ingvild? Do you know of any research that shows that Deaf children need contact with other Deaf children to be happy? -- Val ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton Visit the SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org |
