<DIV></DIV>>Wow! This is real research. <FONT color=#ff0066><STRONG><U>Three study groups</U></STRONG></FONT>. And the group that
<DIV></DIV>>combined the Arabic spoken language with Saudi Arabian signs written
<DIV></DIV>>in SignWriting got the highest score. And the second highest group
<DIV></DIV>>was the group with only SignWriting and Sign Language...so
<DIV></DIV>>SignWriting made a positive difference no matter how it was
<DIV></DIV>>applied....wow - thanks for telling us!
