They ended up developing a rudimentary sign language based on facial expressions and gestures. Because the women who were taking care of them were strictly instructed to never speak… But they were never given any instructions regarding facial expressions or gestures. So the kids learned that expressions and gestures are how to communicate.

Oh good, there’s a bit of a silver lining. They weren’t taught how to speak but the care-givers still interacted and communicated with them, albeit a limited amount.
