Our agency is expecting 2 new students from Moldova who are deaf.
Apparently they read and write in Russian and sign using Russian sign
language.  It would seem reasonable to get them instruction in both American
Sign Language (ASL) and ESL.

Has anyone out there served deaf ESL students?  What kind of instruction did
you provide, and how successful was it?  Any ideas?
