SEE is also very important for the deaf, because they need to communicate with hearing people, especially in the employment and higher education.
According to Vampyrox's post about deaf people and their English skills at NTID:

NTID is the part of RIT, deaf people from ALL DEAF K-12 Schools don't receive enough English skills to prepare for higher education and jobs. The world uses ENGLISH as a common language, but they may not realize that, and if deaf people want to get good English and future, SEE, getting education from mainstreamed schools, and being around with hearing people, is the only way.
