Question SEE: "has become extremely popular in the schools"?

Quote:
What is SEE?

Signing Exact English (SEE) is a sign system that matches signs with the English language. It is one of the first manual English systems to be published (1972) and has become extremely popular in the schools. Children who are exposed at an early age to SEE are able to learn idiomatic standard English and thus have learning opportunities similar to those of hearing children.

Does anyone know how true this is? I thought SEE usage was supposed to be decreasing, not increasing.

Also, I'm curious to see a website on "learn SEE"; I can't find any. I'm really curious about how they sign 'ing' and 'ful' and 'to', for example, but I can't find anything on it. I don't plan on learning it (heaven forbid), but I am curious as to how these are planted next to signs.
