Hi Maria,
    The WatchTower Bible and Tract Society does Bible Translation in 
sign language.  I know for ASL they have finished translating Matthew 
trough Acts.  I am unaware if they have translated the Bible into any 
other sign languages yet or not. 
    Their website is www.watchtower.org.

This past month the tract "Would you like to know the truth?" was posted 
on their site in many sign languages.  It includes several scriptures.  
I believe it's the the first time, I´ve seen the same article translated 
into so many sign languages.   It´s been fun looking at other sign 
languages even though I don't understand everything that is being 
signed.  http://watchtower.org/e/sign.htm

If you want to contact them their contact page is 
https://watch002.securesites.net/contact/submit.htm or write to a branch 
near you, the addresses appear in the Watchtower magazine.

I hope this helps with your dissertation

Jonathan
