Influence

One of the students from the school, named Laurent Clerc, went to America and used the French sign language to make the first deaf school in America which led to the further revolution of sign language (“Charles Michel De L’Epee”). This method taught by the school helped people to further realize that deaf people were equal to them and that they can also be just as intelligent (De L'Epee).  Now more new versions of their sign language are used every day by deaf people in America. This revolution has even spread to Indiana. When the school was forst founded they were ASL or American Sign Language which was a branch of the Old French Sign Language ("Indiana School for the Deaf"). 

The influence of the National School for Deaf is still happening today and it has helped many deaf students around the world. Since the school opened, millions of deaf people have used the teachings and methods from the school (“Charles Michel de L’Epee”). One of these teachings was one of the original versions of sign language recorded which is now referred to as the old French sign language (“Charles”). This version of sign language was the base of American sign language and many other countries' sign languages.
