I'm not sure. I can only speak from 20 years of experience in teaching Deaf youths.

I am looking for printed material on this as I think there was at least one study done on this and printed in the AAD. >~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > o/ James Womack \o , > <| Don't mince words |> __o/ > / > Say what you really think! < \ __\__ |
