Heller, Irma; Manning, Diane; Pavur, Debbie; Wagner, Karen
TEACHING Exceptional Children, v30 n3 p50-53 Jan-Feb 1998
Describes how two teachers taught English Sign Language to 29 children (age 3) in a regular education preschool program which included 2 children with hearing impairments. When compared to 25 children who were not taught signing, the children who had been taught signing had significantly higher receptive vocabulary scores and were clearly superior in language development.
