Learning Amid The Silence: Education of the Hearing-Impaired in Ante-Bellum America Timothy Crumrin Formal education of the deaf or hearing impaired was late in arriving in the America. It was not until the April 15, 1817 opening of the Connecticut Asylum for the Education of Deaf and Dumb Persons in Hartford that the United States could boast of its first permanent school for the deaf. The school, the brainchild of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, was dedicated to the use of the "natural language of signs" in the education of its charges. By doing so, it was casting itself forth upon one of the two main streams of deaf education- -and setting the standard for that specialized instruction that would remain supreme in the United States until after the Civil War. European Background
The deaf or hearing impaired have been communicating among themselves and with the hearing world around them since times unknown. Through pantomime, contrived signs, and speech they have understood the world and made themselves understood. They have taught and been taught by various means over the years, but the earliest recorded educational efforts probably took place in sixteenth century Spain. There, wealthy parents of deaf children could well afford to hire "learned individuals" to teach their children, and with it came the "literature of deaf education. Fray Meichior de Yebra was the first Spaniard to set down a method of communication for the deaf. The monk adapted a hand alphabet used by members of Catholic brotherhoods sworn to silence after concluding that a means was needed of communicating with those who were unable to speak but wished the rites of the church.

Excerpted by Exceptional Parent Magazine INTRODUCTION This article is informational and does not support one method over another. In all likelihood, someone will surely disagree with something in some portion of this article. It is a natural consequence of presenting a number of, oftentimes, conflicting methods. I have tried to be thorough with all the methods that I have covered. This article, however comprehensive, cannot cover all the information that is available. I have provided a list of resources for your continued education.
THE MANUAL/ORAL CONTROVERSY These dedicated men established the Hartford school, later known as the American School for the Deaf in 1817. The method used in the School was sign language. During the next sixty-three years, sign language was the order of the day. About one half of all teachers of the deaf were deaf themselves and a number of deaf individuals established their own schools. During this golden era of signed deaf education, Congress established the National Deaf Mute College in 1864. Today, this institution is known as Gallaudet University.

Philosophy
The professional mission of the San Diego State University Teacher Preparation Program in Education of the Deaf or hard-of-hearing is to prepare teachers to meet the diverse needs of Deaf children and youth in the United States. Inherent in this mission is respect for all children and their families, unbiased assessment and instruction, fluency in the languages used by these learners, and an understanding of the diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds from which they come. SDSU graduate students who pursue the State of California credential to teach students who are Deaf or hard-of-hearing will complete a course of study in Bilingual (ASL and English) Multicultural Teacher Preparation. The term multicultural includes, but is not necessarily limited to, the following typically underrepresented cultures: Deaf, Hispanic-Deaf, Afro-American-Deaf, Asian-Pacific Islander-Deaf and American Indian Deaf cultures as well as majority groups (e.g. Hearing/American). The focus is on comprehensible interpersonal communication with members of the population within which the student intends to teach. Each graduate student will meet the national standards of the Council on Education of the Deaf (CED) and the competencies for the state of California DHH specialist credential. Candidates for students teaching practicum in classrooms for Deaf students will be competent at the Intermediate-plus level in American Sign Language as judged by a panel of Deaf evaluators following the SDSU-ASL screening process. Evaluation of ASL will occur once each semester during the student's graduate program. Students will be given suggestions on ways in which they can improve expressive and receptive ASL proficiency. It will be the responsibility of each student to achieve at least an Intermediate-plus proficiency level in the expressive and receptive use of ASL before a student teaching assignment can be made. Evaluation of English language competence is measured by the verbal score on the Graduate Record Exam.

Both certification and endorsement are awarded only after completion of a fifth-year internship experience. This unique Bachelor of Arts/endorsement program in special education is designed to prepare students to be effective general and special educators. It places a high priority on helping students build connections between theory and practice in the mainstream classroom teaching situation, as well as the more traditional "self-contained" type of special education classroom. The internship experience, in particular, is designed to be an occasion where special education teacher candidates can benefit from continued instruction and mentoring from university and school faculty while working to refine and hone skills developed earlier in the program.

May 6, 2002
Dr. Doin E. Hicks, a native of Ozark County, Mo., and his wife, Wanda McClung Hicks, a native of Sheridan, received honorary degrees Saturday at Lyon College’s 130th commencement exercises. Seventy-nine graduating seniors in the Class of 2002 received diplomas at the ceremony at the nationally ranked liberal arts college located in the Ozark Foothills.
The careers of Dr. and Mrs. Hicks, the honorary degree recipients, have been dedicated to improving the lives of those with hearing and visual impairments, as well as other disabilities, through education. The couple now reside in Deale, Maryland.
Dr. Hicks, a native of Ozark County, Mo., attended Lyon College (then Arkansas College), where he was senior class president. He graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in speech in 1953. He completed the post-bachelor program in deaf education at Arkansas State Teacher’s College (now the University of Central Arkansas) in Conway in 1954. He moved back to his native state to teach and coach football and track at the Missouri School for the Deaf in Fulton, where he remained until 1960. In the meantime, he completed work on a master’s degree in secondary education at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
In 1960, Hicks moved into administration, becoming principal of the Arkansas School for the Deaf in Little Rock where he served until 1964. In 1966 he earned a Doctor of Education degree from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, specializing in administration, secondary education and special education. Hicks then headed for Dallas to become director of the Pilot School for the Deaf. There, he established the federally sponsored Center for Services to Deaf-Blind Children in the Southwestern United States.

http://www.apa.org/monitor/apr98/amer.html
VOLUME 29 , NUMBER 4 -April 1998
Sign language may help deaf children learn English
Research reveals some unexpected benefits of American Sign Language. By Beth Azar
Monitor staff L anguage learning in the deaf community is in critical condition. Despite efforts to mainstream deaf children into public schools and to develop new techniques for teaching English to deaf children, the average deaf high school graduate reads and writes at the fourth-grade level, say deaf education experts. Until recently ideas about how best to teach language to deaf children were based more on strong feelings than science. Some psychologists hope to change that. They’re stepping in to provide a scientific base to the long simmering debate: Should deaf children be taught American Sign Language (ASL) first and then be taught English—an option known as bilingual education? Or should they be taught English only? English-only education provides either oral training, which concentrates on lip reading and written English, or 'total communication' training, which uses oral English as well as signed English. Signed English is simply English translated into signs, and linguists don’t consider it a language per se. In contrast, ASL is as different from English as any foreign language, with its own vocabulary and grammatical structure. Oral-only and total communication training have dominated American education of deaf and hard of hearing children over the past 20 years. More than 90 percent of deaf children are born to hearing parents, many of whom want their children in English-only programs. They assume that learning ASL will impede learning English and that English-only programs will best facilitate it.

History of ASL
History involed with the ASL the men name were Abbe de l'Epee, Laurent Clerc and Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet. They were develop sign language for deaf education in Paris, France and they were to come in the United States for deaf education learning how to sing language of deaf young education and they were successful. Abbe de l'Epee was in U.S.
When Abbe de l'Epee was born in France he was curious how deaf people can communicate. He was figure out of his created a sign language and he became a teacher of young deaf a education in the school in France and deaf of a education were open a school in France then the children were learning sign language and deaf people too learning sign. American one guy visisted in France where the deaf a school, hem teacher of his students deaf. One guy watched Abbe teach of his students how to learning sign language and guy ask Abbe if can he came in American and Abbe was said fine with he visit in American.
When Abbe already in American and he was watch that different from American and French beacuse in French was so beautiful place and American different not beautiful but nice place anyway he teach in Washintion D.C. and he liked in teacher in there so he teach so long time there sometime visited his family in French. Thomas H. Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc were interested to teach to use sign language in the deaf schools and they were succcessful in teaching in deaf children.
My opinion of the deaf develop good education and easy way to commu- nication. It is good that Abbe, Thomas and Laurent taughtto sign language. If they did not use sign language we would be and no one would use stuck no use sign langauage for the deaf. I thank use Abbe and Thomas and Laurent for their help in developing sign langauage and schools too.

ENHANCING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR HISPANIC STUDENTS WHO ARE DEAF
Maureen A. Smith
Abstract : There is a great deal of diversity among those individuals identified as hearing impaired. This diversity stems from the nature of the loss, its degree, cause, whether it occurred before or after speech and language developed, and whether the individual has deaf or hearing parents. More recently, professionals in deaf education have had to recognize the increasing ethnic diversity represented with this population. Specifically, professional are becoming aware of the unique challenge being faced by Hispanic students who are hearing impaired. The purpose of this article is to review some basic facts about hearing impairment then discuss the effects this disability can have on Hispanic students. Specific suggestions are offered for meeting the needs of these students and their families.
INTRODUCTION
Some Facts About People Who are Hearing Impaired
EDUCATION OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE HEARING IMPAIRMENTS
The Effect of Parental Hearing Status on School Achievement of Deaf Students Parental hearing status can have a major influence on the quality and quantity of linguistic experiences available to young children who are deaf. Hearing parents, perhaps already devastated by their child's hearing loss, face the enormous task of learning how to communicate and interact with their child. Most hearing parents choose educational programs for their children which emphasize either an oral approach (speech and speech reading) or a combined approach (speech, speech reading, and sign language). On the other hand, deaf parents are already aware of the ramifications of hearing loss and are more likely to have an intact language system for communicating and interacting with their child. Typically, that language is American Sign Language (ASL). Like Spanish, French, or any other spoken language, ASL has been recognized as an intact language (Markowicz, 1977; Wilbur, 1979; Woodward, 1982) and is currently the fourth most commonly used language in the United States.
