Index Number: 11818 [This is from the Silent Talk Conference] I recently read in Curriculum Products News, a magazine for district-level administrators, about a signing bear, that is a toy bear used somewhat like a puppet that signs. Developed by Chuck and Jeanne Smallwood from Ventura, CA. it's called Honey. It has been used with great success with autistic, retarted, and emotionally disturbed and abused children, but 20% of the bears are used with the deaf, report the Smallwoods. This might be of interest to those involved with deaf education of small children in sign-based situations. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!272!94.0!Fran.O'Gorman Internet: Fran.O'Gorman@p0.f94.n272.z1.fidonet.org
