SignWriting List November 2, 2000 But it was a well-written soapbox, Cheryl - That was a good message. Thanks for that. It only makes sense that children need to have good language role models... Your idea about joining the List for "Parents of Hard-of-Hearing or Deaf Children" is a good idea. If anyone needs information on how to join that List, write to me privately. I have that information. The Parent's List is also a good List to discuss the issues surrounding Cochlear Implants....since it is usually the parents who ultimately make those choices for their children... -- Val ;-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Valerie Sutton Visit the SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org |
