About This Book

The work outlines a practical method for teaching people born deaf to articulate speech and to comprehend spoken language through visual and articulatory instruction; it combines doctrinal explanation, stepwise exercises, and case observations, accompanied by prefatory letters addressing skeptics and patrons and arguing for public dissemination of the technique. The author defends the method's plausibility, reports successful instruction of pupils, offers guidance for caregivers to maintain and extend skills, and emphasizes accessibility and moral urgency in enabling social, intellectual, and spiritual communication for those formerly reliant on signs.
