Speech, speechreading, and manual reception skills of 78 deaf students were evaluated over a 2-year interval of residency at NTID. This was done to determine the relative stability of these skills within an integrated environment which stresses the use of amplification and oral-aural instruction. Analysis of data revealed that most students made significant gains in manual communication with no associated deterioration in speech or speechreading skill.
