ACEHI Journal/Revue ACEDA, v21 n2-3 p80-93 1995

This article presents a critical evaluation of the use of Pidgin Signed English (PSE) and three manually coded English (MCE) systems, signed English, Seeing Essential English, and Signing Exact English with deaf students. It concludes that the use of MCE systems is unlikely to result in English proficiency for many students with severe to profound hearing losses. (Author/DB)
