Opis

There has been controversy over deaf education in response to a need for a more appropriate means of communicating with deaf children in all educational settings throughout the world.This controversy has led to a change in methodology from oral methods to Total Communication, to Sign Language and currently to bilingualism. For 28 years (1956 1986) education of the deaf in Kenya was through the oral system. This book therefore highlights Studies of sign of sign languages and sign communication among disabled persons in the society.
