The acquisition of oral and written language in six deaf infants is compared from ages one and two years for periods of four and five years. The results indicate: (1) Acquisition of written language is not dependent on oral language; (2) Written language teaching can be initiated at about one year of age; and (3) Written language is easier to learn than oral language. These results suggest that written language instruction in early life helps deaf infants acquire language.
