Dear SW List!
Welcome Mohamed, back to the SignWriting List! You can read about  
Mohamed's past research, at a school for Deaf boys in Saudi Arabia,  
on this web page:

SignWriting in Arabic Nations
http://signwriting.org/arabia/arabia.html

Mohamed did a real research project with control groups, and  
SignWriting proved, in that small study, to be an important tool for  
learning to read and write...the findings were in SignWriting's  
favor...see photo attached of a Deaf student from Saudi Arabia using  
SignWriting...

Wonderful news that a new study will be conducted in Jordan, as a  
part of Mohamed's dissertation!
