Looking for other teachers who teach bilingual documents to Deaf students

SignWriting List
March 21, 2012

Hello Andre and James Shepard-Kegl -

Thank you for telling us (see below) about your presentation in May, 2012, Andre, in French-Canada, and congratulations….It will be an important presentation.

Can you videotape the presentation? Perhaps we can post it on our SignWriting web site, if you want that. No matter what, we look forward to hearing more about your presentation.

I am sending this message to James Shepard-Kegl. James is no longer a member of our SignWriting List, but he continues to teach SignWriting and to work with Nicaraguan Deaf students, and is also actively publishing and writing about their schools for the Deaf in Nicaragua. Attached is a PDF of one of James' latest reports from Nicaragua. In the attached document it gives James' email address. I have also pasted his contact information below in this email message. Please see attached document. You will notice that the Deaf student mentioned in this report uses SignWriting - go to the second page in the document. The Kegls also have a new web site as you can see below, and there is mention of SignWriting there as well...

Does anyone know names of the teacher?  Could the teacher speak English or French?
