Total Communication Use among Elementary Teachers of Hearing-Impaired Children.

Mayer, Peggy; Lowenbraun, Sheila

American Annals of the Deaf, v135 n3 p257-63 Jul 1990

This study of seven educators of hearing-impaired students in early elementary programs found that teachers' signed Manually Coded English (MCE) messages represented their spoken utterances. MCE proficiency may be influenced by teacher attitude regarding the importance of signing complete messages and the degree to which supervisors monitor teacher implementation of MCE policies.
