Hello <br><br>Lately in OLPC-Sur mail list there has been discussions about working with kids with hearing discapacities<br>especially i like one experience in Itagui Colombia:<br><br><a href="http://inclusion.semitagui.gov.co/index.php?title=Portada" target="_blank">http://inclusion.semitagui.gov.co/index.php?title=Portada</a><br>
<br>other professors in Uruguay are also interested in these matters<br><br>But my doubt here it's about if are out there studies, thesis, or academic dissertations about how GUIs can have an impact in child's or persons with disabilities not just censorial but also learning disorders.<br>
<br>Are there specific studies related to Sugar?<br><br>IIRC this was previously discussed so any links or pointers are welcomed <br>My intention is to give this feedback to professors on Colombia and Uruguay.<font color="#888888"><br>

Many people are unaware that the campus also houses an elementary school and a secondary school for deaf students, as well as a child development center for pre-schoolers. There are a few people on campus interested in finding ways to bring the XO to deaf children in developing countries. I am unaware of any formal studies, but as for large-scale deployments that are probably being studied, see the following article from March 2008, "Illinois School for the Deaf gets free computers"<br>

<pre>Be sure to follow the link to "More photos" as well. I don't know how long the article will be available, considering that it was published in March...<br>
<br>Also note that Antonio Battro, Chief Education Officer at OLPC has been working with deaf children and computers for to decades in Argentina, (see <a href="http://www.byd.com.ar/" target="_blank">www.byd.com.ar</a>) and stated a while back "we are planning a program for the deaf in Uruguay with OLPC/CEIBAL"... Are the professors you're talking to already involved with that effort?<br>

<br>Thanks again.<br><br>
