  1. His idea to use sign language was not a completely new idea as Native Americans used hand gestures to communicate with other tribes.

  2. Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, for example, observed that men who are deaf are incapable of speech.

  3. People who were born deaf were denied the right to sign a will as they were “presumed to understand nothing; because it is not possible that they have been able to learn to read or write.”

  4. Pushback against this prejudice began in the 16th century when Pedro Ponce de León created a formal sign language for the hearing impaired.

  5. For millennia, people with hearing impairments encountered marginalization because it was believed that language could only be learned by hearing the spoken word.
