Nineteenth-Century Conceptions of Deafness: Implications for Contemporary Educational Practice.

Reagan, Timothy

Educational Theory, v39 n1 p39-46 Win 1989

The nineteenth-century debate over use of the manual versus the oral approach to deaf education is discussed and related to the prevailing social and educational thought. Both approaches are seen as oppressive and antideaf. Current efforts to reconceptualize deafness have produced calls for bilingual-bicultural programs. (IAH)
