Not Available Technology International Incorporated of Virginia (TII) will develop an illustrated, interactive multimedia framework which will incorporate children's stories and math lessons in both English and American Sign Language (ASL) for the promotion of math skills of elementary school children who are Deaf or hearing impaired. The Phase I effort will be targeted at grades K through 6. The content which will be developed under this framework will be accessible via CD-ROM on a personal computer, over a school computer network, or across the World Wide Web.
