Hello Everyone, and Mohamed and Stuart -
Stuart is correct about recommending Cecilia Flood's dissertation, 
because Cecilia's study specifically focused on how Deaf students feel 
about themselves, and their language, when they use SignWriting in the 
classroom. So Cecilia was also interested in your questions, 
Mohamed...For example...

1. How do Deaf children see themselves?
2. Do they feel better about themselves, when they use SignWriting?
3. Are they more motivated to learn to read and write spoken languages, 
because of SignWriting?
4. Does SignWriting stimulate their creativity?

Cecilia's study had very positive results...

Cecilia's dissertation has been published. First, you can download one 
chapter from her dissertation on our web site right now. All three 
documents on this web page might be of interest:

Second, you can order a printed copy of the entire dissertation. I have 
one copy here, if you have any problems getting it. I will give you the 
ordering information in the next message...

Val ;-)
