Using Sign Language to Access Right Brain Communication: A Tool for Teachers.

Hendren, Glen R.

Journal of Creative Behavior, v23 n2 p116-20 1989

The use of sign language is suggested as a way to stimulate and educate the right brain, thereby cultivating student creativity. Sign language's benefits are that it forces the hearing person to think differently, can add clarity to oral communication, and could be applied to help children with learning disabilities. (JDD)
