Attitudes of Deaf Adults Regarding Preferred Sign Language Systems Used in the Classroom with Deaf Students.

Kautzky-Bowden, Sally M.; Gonzales, B. Robert

American Annals of the Deaf, v132 n4 p251-55 Oct 1987

A questionnaire survey assessing attitudes of 50 deaf adults toward sign language systems used in schools found the majority supported American Sign Language and Manually Coded English-Pidgin with some reservations. Respondents were also concerned about needs of individual deaf children and deaf adult involvement in educational decision making for hearing-impaired children. (Author/VW)
