<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone, <div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">My name is Catalina De la Rocha. I'm currently studying the last semester of the Inclusive Design Masters Program at OCAD University in Toronto ON, Canada. </span><br><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">For my Major Research Project, I'm looking into ways to empower Deaf children to learn and teach Sign Language at home with their bilingual families. I'm convinced that the best way to bridge Spoken and Signed Languages is through visual elements and icons because they play a role of a universal language. <br>This study began three years ago in my hometown Aguascalientes, Mexico, when I became aware of the lack of material and support that the Deaf community has to learn Mexican Sign Language. </div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">The purpose of the research is to design a game tof bring families and groups together for a convivial learning experience in Sign Language. </div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">This is an academic research but I would love to make a real product that could benefit the Mexican Deaf Community and I would like to learn more about incorporating SignWriting to this interactive game. <br><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">I would love to learn more about SignWriting and to share some of my ideas with you, specially if anyone has experience with Sign Language Family Programs and/or teaching methods in developing countries. </span><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Kind regards, </span></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Catalina </span></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div>
