If you come across any deaf child studying in an institute with Oral education,you will find the deaf child communicate freely with sign language. Moreover, if a deaf child studying in an integrated school, a commonsense notion arises that this child find it difficult to understand the instructions of the regular teacher.It would be better to integrate the deaf child with hearing peers for social unity and brotherhood. I myself am a hard of hearing and I know I need sign language as an important part of communication to fill the gap of missing education in my life. I just overcome myself to struggle with the language through my experiments. In conclusion, it is very clear that sign language becomes essential for deaf people who are trying to grasp all forms of education in whatever aspects.
