Language deprived is not a scientific or educational term. As a teacher, I would have serious concerns if a child was not making more than month for month progress when enrolled in a language rich program. Without that, they will never close the gap.
"Language deprivation" is both a scientific and an educational term. It's also known as "Language dysfluency" I am concerned that as a Teacher of the Deaf, you do not know this.
Unsurprisingly, these two terms are very much associated with Deaf/HoH people and Deaf education.
But yeah, if you don't believe me you can Google Scholar and see all of the scientific research articles and educational articles using this term:
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?...ved=0ahUKEwiF7ZiM47HVAhVFKCYKHZcADOQQgQMIJjAA
Or you could put that term into Pubmed:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=language+dysfluency
...or you could just freaking Google it and you will find myriad scientific and educational articles and references on that issue. Here, let me do that for you:

It's so bizarre that the NIH would award a half-million dollar grant to research language deprivation in deaf children if language deprivation isn't a scientific term...

But yet, according to someone with the handle Teacherofthedeaf - who I presume is an actual teacher of the deaf -"Language deprived is not a scientific or educational term"...
