Deaf Schoolchildren, Reading and Sign Language.

Brooks, Greg

Journal of Research in Reading, v3 n2 p98-105 Sep 1980

Examines and rejects the theory that the deaf have access to a "phonological" code. Recommends that if deaf children are to be introduced to a manual system of communication, it should be the syntactically adequate Paget-Gorman system. (Author/FL)
