Abstract
The research reported here confirms the notion that the quantity of communication demonstrated by a group of profoundly hearing-impaired 2-year-old children parallels the quantity of communication observed in their peers with normal hearing when nonverbal communication acts are counted along with their verbal counterparts.

The data gathered included information regarding the communication of teachers as they addressed and responded to young deaf children.
