The sign language is in my country forbidden during the lessons. The teacher of the deaf say that if they had signed, the children couldn't learned lip-reading, and speaking. They think that sign languages are pidgins. They don't regard the facts that the sciences and arts demostates.

Many Hungarians live in other countries. In this countries Hungarian children they often couldn't speak Hungarian during the lessons. This is the same thing because the signed languages are languages as the spoken ones. Many deaf peoples Hungarian is poor, and can't study because the lacks of the learning materials. It would better if they could learn both in Hungarian Sign Language and Hungarian.

I have taught children who are Deaf or hard of hearing.  We still have 5 year olds coming into school systems with no language because the option to learn sign language was taken from them.  This belief that speech is the only way is false and cripples children who need to develop language through sign.  Research has proven that sign does not prevent children from speaking.  I used sign language with my own hearing child because she was a premature baby and her language was behind.  She now has impressed her dance teacher with her vocabulary and ability to communicate.  My daughter's dance teacher is teaching her hearing son to communicate with sign as he learns to speak.  If you taught children who desperately want to communicate and you saw how much time has been lost to learn a language, you would truly understand.   I have my B.S. in Speech Language Pathology and my M.Ed. in Communication Sciences and Disorders (Deaf Education).  I understand the need to reinforce and teach speech.  I also understand that many children need to learn sign language and that is their right as children who are deaf.  Who are we to take that from them.  I have seen the eyes of children light up when they receive the chance to sign and learn language. They can communicate and learn and have a chance at a full life.

Excessive Enforcement of Oralism and Complete ban of Sign Language are the real torture against the Deaf. The 1880 Milan deliberately created a dark age for the Deaf community that lasted one century in many countries. The 1880 Milan was the delusional action of "age of enlightenment" which is cryptically satanic.

Of course that , Sign Language in educational programes, must be a reality!!!!

Unterstützt diese Petition!

Sono udente, non uso la Lingua dei segni perchè non l'ho studiata, mia madre è sorda e ne fa larghissimo uso, è bellissimo vederla comunicare con le mani!

Sto con Voi! Forza.

I support the idea

Deaf people have, just like hearing people, the right to be themselves, the right to equal treatment and equal access to education. In order for Deaf people to develop themselves in the best way possible and develop themselves emotionally and intellectually, communication should not be blocked by a language which is not accessible at all times. Sign language is the language of Deaf people which could guarantee 100% of accessibility.

To provide deaf awarness or education in schools. so the children or young people grow up having confidence to talk to deaf persons. unite the diversty! Some may know who Helen Keller was but not enough.... ordinary or extraordinary deaf people are out there....

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it...let us learn the lesson and move forward

For me there is no reason for to longer hold on to the situation that sign language is not integrated in normal educational programmes.

Why not? Communication should be the less exclusive as possible.

Right to use sign language!!!! WONDERFULLLLLLLL

these children have a right to language! it is not right to prohibit the use of sign language. it is natural and comfortable for them, they can and will be able to learn other languages by being allowed to have this language base.

sign language is very important just like ant other language in educational programmes

I agree that we have every right to use our native sign langauges in its nations. What did I say? Native? Yes, it is native that mean natural, sign language is our native visual language but for Signed English, Signed Exact English, Signed Syntax English, Auditory/Verbal Method, Aural/Oral Method, Cued Speech, Padgin Signed English, more.....those are called language?? Our langauge?? The answer is NO!

Look at Aidan's comments as she reject this petition. I have decide to join her. She has made the point so clearly. I applaud on her.

Pleaseeee sign the petition for the Sign Languages of the World!!! In Italy have a website which is focused on the world of the deaf sign language and also to give more visibility to our beautiful sign language! Look www.vlog-sordi.com

Gebaerdensprache ist die natuerliche Sprache der Gehoerlosen. Wissensvermittlung ist hauptsaechlich nur ueber die Gebaerdensprache moeglich. Der ganze Bereich Gehoerlosenkultur und Geschichte der Gehoerlosen soll in die Bildung der Gehoerlosen eingehen. Es ist wichtig zur finung der eigenen Idaentitaet.

la lis e un nostro dovere e il rispetto dei sordi, ed importante per noi.... e la nostra ragione di vita
