Folks:

I have received the following question from a constituent:
"I am doing a research on: how deaf people acquire a second language:  English /ASL.
I have books about language, acquisition of second language in the general population, my problem is that I can not find books that talk specifically on deafness and second language acquisition.
The research is basically on deaf Spanish immigrants.
Thank you"

I know that some of you have an interest in the deaf and their language.  I will pass along any suggestions.
