In developed nations around the world, residential schools for deaf students are giving way to the trend of inclusion in regular classrooms. Nonetheless, deaf education continues to lag as the students struggle to communicate. In the Bua School in Thailand, however, 400 residential deaf students ranging in age from 6 to 19 have met with great success in teaching each other Thai Sign Language (TSL) and a world of knowledge once thought to be lost to them. "The Rising of Lotus Flowers:Self-Education by Deaf Children in Thai Boarding Schools" reveals how their institutionalization allowed them to foster a unique incubator of communication and education.
