Integrazione completa delle due lingue (lis e lingua parlata) http://www.webmultimediale.org/malazeta/ Su questo sito potete trovare un bellissimo video di un gruppo rock che recita,cantando, una poesia di primo levi insieme ad un ragazzo sordo che "canta" la stessa canzone.

I suoi studi si concentrano su come rendere i video accessibili, unendo lis e sottotitoli.
