Multiculturalism and the Deaf: An Educational Manifesto.

Reagan, Timothy

Journal of Research and Development in Education, v22 n1 p1-6 Fall 1988

The deaf community in the United States is a distinct subcultural group that is bilingual, diglossic, and trimodal. The deaf should be considered a legitimate cultural and linguistic minority, and entitled to educational programs reflecting this. Inclusion of information on deaf people in multicultural education programs is advocated, and guidelines provided. (IAH)
