Peer reviewedChampie, Joan – American Annals of the Deaf, 1981

Peer reviewedChampie, Joan – American Annals of the Deaf, 1984

This omission suggests a lack of recognition of ASL as a language and as the communication system of deaf people. Every program for the deaf students should include ASL in its requirements.
