Talking Hands Award
Award Background
The Talking Hands Website Award was established on a Unix main frame in 1986 to honor my father's mother who taught me ASL at an early age and to provide resources as our family searched for information about morphea. The award design was originally an animation which spelled talking hands award in ASL. The mission statement below has not changed.
Mission Statement or Purpose of The Award
Our singular purpose is to reward web site authors, who through their creative excellence provide a web site which teaches, contains teaching elements in sufficient detail, and otherwise leaves a visitor with something of significant value after returning to their normal daily activities, which will enable them to be better citizens of the world.
So What is This About?
Our award program is a natural result of founding, although different paths are taken by others in their award programs. The sections of Talking Hands award are briefly explained below. Further details are found from the left side navigation.
