In this compelling history of the now defunct Escuela Nacional para Sordomudos (Mexican National School for the Deaf), the last students known as "ENS signers" detail their remarkable lives and heritage, and question the future of Mexico's young deaf people.

This volume assesses the progress of three second-grade deaf students to demonstrate the importance of placement, context and language in their development. It demonstrates that the key educational element of language development cannot be achieved in a social vacuum.
