Constraints on Communication in Classrooms for the Deaf.

Matthews, T. James; Reich, Carol F.

American Annals of the Deaf, v138 n1 p14-18 Mar 1993

This study found that, on average, signed messages sent by teachers and students in a school for the deaf were seen less than half the time by the deaf students; students frequently engaged in collateral conversations. Intervention strategies call for changes in teaching techniques, classroom layout, and the use of computer-communication technology. (Author/JDD)
