Developing
Special Software
SignPuddle,
SignText, SignBank
For Deaf Children, Deaf Adults & Deaf Educators
We
have developed, and are continually improving the three
inter-connecting programs:
SignPuddle
Online Dictionaries
http://www.SignBank.org/signpuddle
SignText Online Documents
http://www.SignBank.org/signpuddle/signtext
SignBank Online Databases
http://www.SignBank.org/signbank.html
These
three computer programs are free to all on the internet,
but are expensive to develop and although programmers
do donate some time, to continue to provide needed updated
software, and to provide free tech support to Deaf children,
their teachers and their parents, we need funding to pay
our programmers to continue to provide this free, needed
service.
SignWriting is a way to read, write and type the movements
of signed languages. It serves as a bridge between words
and signs.
The highly
pictorial nature of SignWriting makes it ideal for teaching
deaf people to read and write.

.....Donate
To Deaf Literacy....
The National
Association of Police and Lay Charities, a 501c3
non-profit organization, helps children feel safer, by providing
teddy bears and other services, while the police are taking
care of the children. Dubbed as the "TeddyBear Cops",
the NAPLC receives funding from vehicle donations.
In
2004, your donation of a car, auto, vehicle, truck, van, motorcycle
or boat will help deaf children too!
So please donate your vehicle to the Police and Lay Charities.
The proceeds will help fund our SignWriting
Literacy Project for Deaf Children. THANK YOU!
