From a young age, Sasha (who is Deaf) was taught ASL. English was later added as a second language though there was never an attempt to teach the two languages simultaneously. Which educational method did Sasha's teachers use?

The educational method used in Sasha's case is the bilingual-bicultural method. This approach emphasizes the development of both a native signed language (in this case, ASL) and a written/spoken language (English) while recognizing and valuing the cultural aspects of both languages. Since Sasha learned ASL first and English was introduced later, this aligns with the principles of the bilingual-bicultural approach.
