SM: Would you please answer the question from my previous post.
Why would you want deaf children to struggle with learning ASL from hearing people who often are not good models of ASL?
SM, yet again I will say: The best time for children, deaf and hearing to learn a language prior to 6 years of age. Deaf children of hearing parents are often not given access to the complete language, ASL or English. This happens for many reasons, this is simply the way that it is.
You do not want deaf children to know their families language, why?
ASL is a great communication tool. ASL, in a hearing family with a deaf child.. deaf child can read and write English? No
Do you get it?
To deny a child literacy is denying them a gift that impacts life.
