August, 2001. Teacher and researcher, Cecilia Flood, presents
SignWriting to Deaf children at Hodgin Elementary School
in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Deaf teacher Ancelmo (center),
from Nicaragua, and James Shepard Kegl, left, look on.
James Shepard Kegl established two schools for Deaf children
in Nicaragua, one in Bluefields, and one in Condega, Nicaragua.
SignWriting is used in those schools to achieve literacy. |
Deaf
adults benefit from SignWriting too! |

Nicaraguan teacher, Ancelmo, demonstrates writing
SignWriting by hand. SignBank is a useful tool for teachers of deaf children, since the computer program gives teachers a way to search for signs and words quickly, and to print vocabulary lists |
