First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special training program for teachers can help deaf children learn sign language better. About 150 teachers and their deaf students (ages 4-12) are taking part. Teachers are split into two groups: one gets the new training, the other continues as usual. Researchers will compare students' sign language and writing skills at the start and end of the school year.
