Talking Hands Award Program
The Talking Hands Website Award was established on a Unix main frame in 1986 to honor father’s mother of autor who taught him ASL at an early age and to provide resources as their family searched for information about morphea. The award design was originally an animation which spelled talking hands award in ASL.
The 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 leave 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.
Award program is a natural result of founding, although different paths are taken by others in their award programs.
