MESSAGE TO THE SIGNWRITING EMAIL LIST
SUBJECT: "SignWriting Literacy Project"
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 1998 07:43:05 -0500

To: Valerie <DAC@SignWriting.org>
Dear Valerie,
It was with interest that my colleagues and I read your email
about the SignWriting project. I work for a national Charity
called Deafax which is based at the University of Reading, UK.
We deal with issues surrounding communication (face to face &
through technology) and literacy for deaf people. There are a
number of projects which we run - 'Telecommunications & Literacy
for Children' (TCLC), 'Telecommunications & Literacy for
Adults' (TCLP) & TITLED (Towards IT, Literacy & Employment
for Deaf People). Part of what we do involves literacy skills/development
and I was wondering if you had more information on 'SignWriting'.
I am not sure yet whether we would would want to be involved
in helping you to pilot it, or indeed, whether or not we would
be suitable. Do you have a 'sample' pack which we could take
a look at?
Meanwhile I will take a look at previous emails and the Danish report.
Thanks
Helen Lansdown

PS. I am hearing but a fluent signer, most of my colleagues are deaf.
