Hello Mohammed!
Presenting your research at the 3rd International Conference on
Disability and Rehabilitation in Saudi Arabia, sounds like a perfect
idea...
and so would a SignWriting workshop ;-))
It is so fortunate, that you are in Saudi Arabia anyway, and can teach
the workshop...(that means a lot! ;-)
Thank you for writing portions of the Koran in Saudi Arabian SL
recently on SignPuddle...
Saudi Arabian Sign Language Literature
http://www.signbank.org/SignPuddle1.5/index.php?ui=1&sgn=91
The Arabic writing looks so beautiful!
For those new to SignPuddle, go to the above link, and if you click on
the icon "Search by Words" top left, and then place an asterisk in the
search field, and press Search, the Arabic entries are listed for you.
Then click on an Arabic word or sentence to see the equivalent in
written sign language...
Anyway, Mohammed, I am happy to help in any way I can...Let's talk
privately about this...
Val ;-)
