The history of deaf education in the United States began in the early 1800s when the Cobbs School of Virginia,an oral school,was established by William Bolling and John Braidwood,and the Connecticut Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb,a manual school,was established by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc. When the Cobbs School closed in 1816,the manual method,which used American Sign Language,became commonplace in deaf schools for most of the remainder of the century. In the late 1800s,schools began to use the oral method,which only allowed the use of speech,as opposed to the manual method previously in place. Students caught using sign language in oral programs were often punished. The oral method was used for many years until sign language instruction gradually began to come back into deaf education.
