Agreed. Just as I will never know what it is like for my son. The only people that could help me with that were deaf adults who had been deaf children.That is why I found contact with, and advise from, them to be the most valuable information I could get. It is also the reason that I gave my child's input validity and allowed him to be a part of every decision that was made.
I know what it is like to be the parent of a deaf child, but I have no idea what it is to be a deaf individual. The only thing I can do is empathize based on what I am told it is like.
