American Sign Language in Education of the Deaf.
Clements, Anne H.; Prickett, Hugh T.
American Annals of the Deaf, v131 n3 p218-19 Jul 1986
American Sign Language (ASL) is the natural language of deaf individuals. ASL should be an integral part of every Total Communication program for the deaf. Through ASL, the deaf child can develop into a self-sufficient and proud individual. ASL also contributes to the preservation of the deaf community, its heritage, and its culture. (Author).
