Presentation transcript:

 Little is known about the history of sign language before  It is likely that there were several different signed languages or types of signing used by the deaf and their family members.  Most deaf people were isolated due to lack of understanding of them and little to no schools to attend.  Without schools or organizations for the deaf to be brought together, a deaf child and their family may create a personal way to communicate-known as home signs.  (Also, sign languages from other countries may account for some signs brought by immigrants)
