Mid-1700’s
• Deafness used to be considered a divine punishment or sin.
• In the mid-1700’s – a French priest, Charles Michel De L'Eppe, established the first free public school for the deaf in France. He also published a dictionary for French Sign Language.
• At the same time, oral education was making strides in other countries.

Early 1800’s• Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, an American interested in
deaf education, travels to Europe where he meets De L'Eppe's successor, the Archbishop Roche Sicard, the author of "Theory of Signs."
• Sicard sends one of his instructors, Laurent Clerc, back with Gallaudet, and the pair found the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut in 1817.
• Many teachers of the deaf train in Hartford, and, soon sign-based deaf schools in New York, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and elsewhere begin to flourish.
• Alice Cogswell, Gallaudet's initial inspiration to teach the deaf, is the first to graduate from the American School.

Mid/late-1800’s• In 1864 – Abraham Lincoln signs the charter for the
Washington, D.C. – based college for the deaf. • Originally known as the National College for the Deaf
and Dumb, it is the only accredited facility for the deaf in the United States to offer college degrees.
• The first president of Gallaudet is Edward Miner Gallaudet, son of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet.
• The dedication of the Gallaudet family is honored when the college changes its name to Gallaudet College in 1893.
• Today, Gallaudet remains a leader in higher education for the deaf.

A.G. Bell• In 1872, Alexander Graham Bell opens a school in Boston
that concentrates on oral methods of instruction for teachers of the deaf.
• The school is not successful due to heavy opposition from established deaf schools that use manual sign methods.
• Bell eventually gives up administering deaf education and refocuses his attention on a contraption he has been tinkering with that mechanizes speech.
• In 1876, A. G. Bell invents the telephone. • Armed with wealth and enormous recognition, he goes on to
found the Volta Bureau to promote oral-based education for deaf children.
• A period of upheaval in deaf education begins with a backlash against sign language.

Oral Education & NAD• An international gathering of Deaf educators decides that
oral education methods are superior to manual education methods.
• The only country opposing the vote for oral-based education is the United States, where manual education has made great strides.
• During the next 10 years, the popularity of manual education for the deaf declines sharply. 75% of teachers using the manual method have retired by 1890.
• In the U.S. – the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) is founded in 1880 and gains support. The NAD is instrumental in keeping sign language and manual education alive.

Sports
• In 1901, baseball's American League gets its first grand slam thanks to William "Dummy" Hoy, a deaf player. Umpire hand signals are developed so that Hoy can see a strike called from the outfield.
• In the 1920s, Gallaudet University's football team keeps its plays a secret by hiding signed instructions in a huddle formation. Soon, other teams are huddling up too, and a football tradition is born.

TTY & Hearing Aids• In 1964 – Robert Weitbrecht, who
is deaf, invents the teletypewriter (TTY), which enables deaf people to use phone lines to call each other and type out their conversations.

TC & PL 94-142• Two historically divergent education methods converge, at
least in theory, as Total Communication, a combination of manual and speech based instruction for the deaf is developed and promoted.
• Formulated in the early 1960's by a mother dissatisfied with oral-based attempts to teach her deaf daughter, the Total Communication system gains grassroots support and becomes the foundation for a new approach to deaf education within public school systems.
• By 1975, Public Law 94-142, is passed requiring handicapped children in the U.S. be provided with free and appropriate education, allowing many to be mainstreamed into regular public schools, where they receive special instruction but interact with the general public school population.

Closed Captioning• By 1980 Close Captioning is developed and
the first show broadcast. Close Captioning hides the text from view unless the user has a decoding device.
