Help: let them speak or sign their language

[Frida Splendido]

Dear Aliyah,

This article by Davidson, Lillo-Martin & Chen Pichler flickered by just 
after I read your question: "Spoken English Language Development in Native 
Signing Children With Cochlear Implants"
http://jdsde.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/10/16/deafed.ent045.abstract


Best,
Frida
