Chapter 4

Abbe de L'Eppe and Abbe Roch Ambroise Cucurran Sicard helped teach people who were deaf. He was the first person to actually go into the deaf community and learn its language. He founded the first school for the deaf in Paris. It was the very first public school for the deaf. 

This is amazing. I was so impressed when I read this chapter about these people. I understand that it had to start somewhere but to actually learn about who started public schools and everything is really neat. I was wondering though if those schools were still around today. Or if they have changed them so that deaf and speaking people were able to attend.
