That was back in 1977. As a dancer interested in languages, it never dawned on me that anyone could be against signing. American Sign Language seemed so beautiful to me. So Clark school was my "education" on oralism. It would be fun to take SignWriting to the Boston School for the Deaf, to see if they would be interested. There has been some interest from the Framingham Center for the Deaf in Massachusetts now.
