12.  Oralism: Universal teaching method for the deaf to communicate using speech and lip reading rather than sign language.  1880, International Congress of Educators of the Deaf, in Milan.  Mastered by those who became deaf after already having language.  Educators insisted teaching oralism, deaf students’ academic achievement decreased.

13.  Cued Speech, 1966, used 14 handshapes formed near the mouth to signal a speech- reader the sound being made, in order to distinguish similarly formed words.  Total Communication, 1970s, combination of speech and signed English.  Sim Com, requires teachers to sign and speak simultaneously.

14.  ASL – American Sign Language. Used in 1850s, taught at American Asylum for the Deaf.  More effective. Students were equally literate as their hearing peers.  Not English, but has its own syntax and grammar.  Separate language that belongs to people who are deaf at birth or before they learn to speak.  Deaf babies using ASL can sign the same amount of words as hearing babies by the age of 5.  Rarely taught today. Most teachers use a signed version of English.
