<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><BR>I'd be very grateful to know how different
people tell the History of Deaf Education. This theme is part of a subject I'm
teaching and I would like deepen this knowlegde.<BR>In Brazil, we often tell
the history of deaf education starting from old European experiences (Ponce de
Leon, L'Epée, Heinicke...), go to Gallaudet's experience in the USA and his
influeces in Brazil. Meanwhile, we discuss periods in which different
methodolies prevailed. I was wondering if in other coutries, specially on the
other side of the planet and in Africa, people have a different history, with
other heroes. <BR>Literature on the subject would be very welcome. But also
simply comments on what you know would certainly help me.<BR><BR>Thanks!
