Just Deaf

Theme Communication

Families tell

"I'm able to read lips a little bit, but not very well."

"We agreed to use NGT at the dinner table."

"It's easy when your child is hearing, you can just call out to them."

"The children don't care if you're hearing or deaf, it's about someone being able to sign."

"I think it's important for them to learn to be around hearing people as well."

"What I really miss for Sofie now is contact with older deaf people. I organized something for that myself."

Adults tell

"As a child I was already aware that everything was based on sight, and not sound."

"We used to take a quarter to the neighbor's house, to ask if they could make a phone call for us."

Experts tell

"My hearing children are learning sign language and spoken language at the same time."

Children almost always wear their CI. What role is then left for sign language to fulfill?
