In 384-322 B.C. Two well-known philosophers, Socrates and Aristotle, considered deafness and deaf people. In his work Problems, Aristotle believed that the sense of hearing was the most important of all of the senses because, as he stated, it contributed to the mental development of man.

Also not only in Europe but also in Japan, China and the USA. Unlike deaf sign languages, they are better understood as forms of symbolic gestural communication rather than languages, and some writers have preferred to describe them as sign lexicons.

Ponce de Leon established a school for the deaf at the San Salvador Monastery in Oña. His students were almost all children of wealthy aristocrats who could afford private tutoring. His work with deaf children focused on helping them to learn how to speak language audibly. He also instructed children in writing and in simple gestures. Ponce de Leon is not only known to have developed a working sign language, but he also came up with the manual alphabet which would allow a student who mastered it to spell out any word. This alphabet was based, in whole or in part, on the simple hand gestures used by monks living in silence.]]> 2020-09-11 00:35:18 UTC https://padlet.com/briannazola1305/u0cgvzauqf1fmktv/wish/737333954 briannazola1305 https://padlet.com/briannazola1305/u0cgvzauqf1fmktv/wish/737335064 Juan Pablo Bonet was a Spanish priest and pioneer of education for the deaf. He published the first book on deaf education in 1620 in Madrid. He became secretary to Juan Fernández de Velasco, 5th Duke of Frías, Condestable of Castile. The book is considered the first modern treatise of phonetics. Also, it depicts the first documented manual alphabet for the purpose of deaf education. His intent was to further the oral and manual education of deaf people in Spain. Bonet's alphabet has influenced many sign languages, such as Spanish Sign Language, French Sign Language, and American Sign Language.

It was used by both Deaf and hearing people in the community; consequently, deafness did not become a barrier to participation in public life. Deaf people who signed Martha's Vineyard Sign Language were extremely independent. They participated in society as typical citizens, although there were incidents of discrimination, and language barriers. The language was able to thrive because of the unusually high percentage of Deaf islanders and because deafness was a recessive trait, which meant that almost anyone might have both Deaf and hearing siblings. ]]> 2020-09-11 00:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/briannazola1305/u0cgvzauqf1fmktv/wish/737336210 briannazola1305 https://padlet.com/briannazola1305/u0cgvzauqf1fmktv/wish/737355493 Braidwood Academy was an institution for for the Deaf and Dumb and was famous for early sign language.

Around 1754, he took his first deaf person.  His success in teaching this deaf person was so great that he determined to commit himself entirely to this work. He promoted the oral/aural method of instruction, though he did use some form of a manual alphabet. He believed a spoken language to be essential to a proper education, and that it formed the basis for reasoning and intellectual thought.

Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech and both his mother and wife were deaf, influencing Bell's life's work. His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually turned in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the telephone, on March 7, 1876. Many other inventions marked Bell's later life, including groundbreaking work in optical telecommunications, hydrofoils, and aeronautics. ]]> 2020-09-11 01:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/briannazola1305/u0cgvzauqf1fmktv/wish/737402514 briannazola1305 https://padlet.com/briannazola1305/u0cgvzauqf1fmktv/wish/737533935 In 1904 he was  president of National Association of the Deaf of the United States and was one of the first to film American Sign Language. Then he was re-elected in 1907.

During this time, cinema gained popularity, and Veditz dedicated the NAD to gather money to finance recordings of speeches in sign language.

His research on American Sign Language (ASL) revolutionized the understanding of ASL in the United States and sign languages throughout the world and had a profound impact on deaf culture, deaf education, and sign language teaching and interpreting. Stokoe's work led to a widespread recognition that sign languages are true languages. This work redefined the concept of "language" itself, and influenced thinking in theoretical linguistics, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, neural studies, and even jurisprudence.
