The method used in education that started in the early 1970s was known as Total Communication. In an article called The History of Communication, written on start ASL’s website, stated that Total Communication gives the opportunity to deaf students in numerous ways such as ASL, fingerspelling, lip reading, pictures, use of computers, writing, gestures, reading, expression and the use of hearing aids that some schools had to provide.

As outlined by DF Armstrong in Sign Language Studies, the movement helped to bring a new level of visibility to the Deaf community, and was the first time that Deaf people had asserted their rights in a powerful and unified way (Armstrong, 2014).
