From Deaf babies to adult – the right to use the sign language

When you as a parent of the Deaf baby and start to worry about the Deaf baby’s hearing ability and to have the speech ability. As a parent, you may likely take advise from any specialist, GP and Audiologist.

What is the point that can any Deaf baby have the ability to hear the sound or not? The answer is no except to feel the vibration of the sound or noise of the environment.
Any babies will work their way out by speaking first while hearing the sound of saying from their mum or dad. This means this babies’ first language is expressed in the native tongue such as English, Italian or German.
With any Deaf babies, they can’t hear the sound of saying from the mother or father. This result leads to a long term to develop speaking by going to speech therapy, the ability of their cognitive into the slow delay.

There has been a long debate over the cochlear implant for any Deaf babies by making a choice the parents. About three-quarters of the Deaf communities opposed this because the cochlear implant is medical science. Leaving one-quarters of the Deaf teenagers or adults to choose to have a cochlear implant basely on their choice for their workplace, the family of children and lifestyle.

Did you know that sign language is better in communication and quick to learn while they (Deaf babies) growing up? Because sign language is a visual language that leads their eyes to make contact within objects, person/people, animals, reading books. Take a look at excellent tools before going to school, for example, how to teach a Deaf child to learn to read the word by looking at the sign language. check this link (note it is in ASL (American Sign Language) https://youtu.be/QBEc0WV0HFg
