Preferred term

education of the deaf  

Definition

  • The education of Deaf1 children has undergone a series of changes resulting in a major controversy surrounding what language should be used in the classroom. This issue has affected decisions around what kinds of schools are best, what the academic curriculum should look like, and whether the Deaf are a disabled group.
