It still depends on who your parents are.


If the parents are deaf and were raised with SEE, then they may likely use SEE with their children.


If the parents were raised with ASL, then ASL might be used instead.


There's also an issue of what school those kids go to and what early intervention programs recommend.


I was born hearing, but became deaf around the age of one. My parents never learned to sign until I started attending a deaf Sunday school class at church. (When my parents hosted church parties at their house for the deaf class, they felt compelled to learn some sign language.) When they changed church and I left for college, they stopped.


So, it really varies on the parents and a few other things.


It's not something anyone can immediately assume and figure out just by looking at the parents.
