They barred the Deaf from sacraments including marriage and any kind of normal life. Starting with Martin Luther (1483-1546) and various enlightened priests and philanthropists such as Spain's Dom Pedro Ponce de Leon (1520-1584), France's Charles-Michel de L'Épée (1712-1789), Germany's Samuel Heinicke (1727-1790) Roch-Ambroise Cucurron Sicard,and Italy's Ottavio Giovanni Battista Assarotti (1753-1829), schools and churches became available for the Deaf.

His work with Deaf children focused on helping them to learn how to speak language audibly. He also instructed children in writing and in simple gestures.He is not known to have developed a working sign language, but there is some indication from the writings of Juan Pablo Bonet—who never credited him for his method—that Ponce de Leon developed a manual alphabet which would allow a student who mastered it to spell out (letter by letter) any word. This alphabet was based, in whole or in part, on the simple hand gestures used by monks living in silence.His work with the Deaf was considered bold by contemporaries, as the prevailing opinion among most Europeans in the 16th century was that the Deaf were incapable of being educated. Many laymen falsely believed that the Deaf were too simple-minded to be eligible for salvation under Christian doctrine.

L'Épée decided to dedicate himself to the education and salvation of the Deaf, and, in 1760, he founded a school for them. L'Épée came to believe that Deaf people were capable of language and concluded that they should be able to receive the sacraments and be absolved of sins. He began to develop a system of instruction of the French language and religion. In the early 1760s, his shelter became the world's first free school for the Deaf, open to the public.Though L'Épée's original interest was in religious education, his public advocacy and development of a kind of \"Signed French\" enabled Deaf people to legally defend themselves in court for the first time.Two years after L'Épée's death, the National Assembly recognised him as a \"Benefactor of Humanity\" and declared that Deaf people had rights according to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eIn 1791, the Institution Nationale des Sourds-Muets à Paris, which L'Épée had founded, began to receive government funding.
