Sign and School: using Signs in Deaf Children's Development

Temas

Detalles

Born in a world of vision and movement, deaf children from an early age and without apparent difficulty, learn to use the medium to create a natural sign language. For nearly the last 100 years educators and parents zealously over-anxious to make them acceptable in a hearing world, have ignored this language and have immersed their children in a puzzling world of lip-read patterns and indecipherable sound. Now a new approach is appearing in deaf education where the skills and language of the child are exploited to the full to deliver an education which is accessible and meaningful.
