Step-by-step explanation:
In 1956, Andrew Foster founded Christian Mission for the Deaf, an organization committed to supporting the education and development of deaf individuals. This organization reflected his wider engagement with deaf culture, exemplified by the use of American Sign Language (ASL) among the deaf community, and Foster's dedication to empowering the deaf through access to education and religious services.
His work paralleled broader efforts, like those captured by the sculpture of Dr. Gallaudet and Alice Cogswell, to foster new educational methods for the deaf and the later legislative strides to integrate people with disabilities, such as the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act in 1990.
