There has been controversy over deaf education in response to a need for a more appropriate means of communicating with deaf children in all educational settings throughout the world.This controversy has led to a change in methodology from oral methods to Total Communication, to Sign Language and currently to bilingualism. For 28 years (1956 - 1986) education of the deaf in Kenya was through the oral system. This book therefore highlights Studies of sign of sign languages and sign communication among disabled persons in the society.
