Notes:
Two studies of the communication skills of orally educated deaf primary school children are repotted. In the first, a referential communication task with very limited linguistic demands, severely and profoundly deaf children performed as well us a hearing control group. In the second task with a richer linguistic domain. differences m performance were found between deaf children from three schools with different linguistic philosophies, children from the school performing com-parably to hearing children, those from the other two schools slightly worse. It is concluded that deaf children are more able communicators than their grammatical competence suggests.
