I totally agree. I think most deaf who can't write properly weren't taught sign language soon enough. It is because some people only see sign language as something to fall back on if the child totally fails to pick up on speech. So they are taught signing as a last resort and their writing is very poor. It is not their fault. The fault lies with the educators who should teach ALL deaf and HOH children BSL first while they are still very young. There would be less damaged deaf with sometimes severe communication difficulties that way.
