Abstract:

Deaf children experience language deprivation at alarmingly high
rates. One contributing factor is that most are born to non-signing
hearing parents who face insurmountable barriers to learning a signed
language. This Element presents a case for developing signed language
curricula for hearing families with deaf children that are
family-centered and focus on child-directed language. Core vocabulary,
functional sentences, and facilitative language techniques centered
around common daily routines allow families to apply what they learn
immediately. Additionally, Deaf Community Cultural Wealth (DCCW)
lessons build families' capacity to navigate the new terrain of
raising a deaf child. If early intervention programs serving the
families of young deaf children incorporate this type of curriculum
into their service delivery, survey data suggest that it is both
effective and approachable for this target population, so the rates of
language deprivation may decline.
