Manualism enjoyed a period of acceptance and expansion during the early decades of the 19th century. This was the period where Thomas Gallaudet brought the Deaf teacher Laurent Clerc to Connecticut where Clerc was instrumental in the development of ASL. Clerc was a hugely influential teacher of the Deaf in the United States, training many other teachers and spending 41 years teaching at the school in Connecticut, which eventually became the American School for the Deaf.
