ASL can be handed down typically: Via Deaf families. New offspring are automatically taught ASL from birth and on.. Via Deaf programs - typically many teachers at Deaf schools can sign, and there are Deaf teachers who can sign ASL. Deaf friends at these programs also play a role in exposing other Deaf (who do not have Deaf families) to lots of signs. Via Deaf schools - At Deaf schools where dormitories are present, many children learn ASL through friends at the Deaf schools. These kids were taught by their Deaf parents, Deaf siblings, etc. And other kids at the Deaf schools have learned via various methods as well, and when they arrive as a new student at the Deaf school, they also pick up the signs specific to that school and local area.

Deaf schools are sometimes believed to lead to over dependence on this kind of environment. This said, deaf schools allow the schools to tailor there facilities and education towards the needs of the deaf. Staff employed will be experts in the field and students will have access to more opportunities to access ways to get passed deafness

Most schools cater to people with blindness - it's part of a disability/equality policy, but there are some specialist colleges and schools for the blind/deaf, but not a lot. There aren't any statistics that state how many there are though.
