About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Signing is a right and Mexican Sign Language must be recognized. 86% of Mexican Deaf citizens do not have access to education, even with hearing support (INEGI, 2016). Contributions of Deaf researchers, point out that technology is a new strategy that can improve Deaf Education [See Paddy Ladd Conference, 2019 in https://bit.ly/3L2orHD]
