Dear Eyasu,<br>congratulations and I wish success on your job.<br><br>There is a university in Brazil called Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). They started a program like that some years ago, which has been the first one in the country. You can get in touch with them by the e-mail:
<a href="mailto:libras@ead.ufsc.br">libras@ead.ufsc.br</a><br>It is a public university from the federal government, so I think the will be glad to help your university with its efforts.<br><br>There is also another institution you could try, which is the National Institute of Education of the Deaf (INES), try the e-mail:
<a href="mailto:webmaster@ines.org.br">webmaster@ines.org.br</a><br>Since it is also a federal institution, part of the Ministry of Education, I think they can help too.<br><br>At last, if for any reason you don't receive any answer from them, you can try this:

<a href="http://www.gallaudet.edu/">http://www.gallaudet.edu/</a>) in the USA can also provide some useful information.<br><br>I hope they can help you.<br><br>Regards<br>-- <br>Rodrigo Ferreira Bagni
