Intention: Language deprivation
[edit]I am intending to work with Brittany Farr to add a section to the Language deprivation page discussing language deprivation in deaf children. Brittany will be focusing on creating a video in ASL to add to the page, while I will be working to add a section in English.
Notes
[edit]· Frequently hearing parents of deaf children are advised by professionals with no training in the field of language acquisition in deaf children.[1]
· Even with cochlear implants, accessibility of spoken language is unreliable- implanted children exposed only to spoken language can still show serious lack of language ability when compared to hearing peers, while those exposed to signing from birth do not (even in regards to spoken language). [2]
· Early exposure to Sign Language for deaf children not only improves proficiency in sign language, but also proficiency in spoken languages learned later in life [2]
· Despite the belief that sign language exposure could interfere with spoken language acquisition prevailing for hundreds of years, there is no evidence to support this theory.[1]
· When spoken language is inaccessible, and sign language is not introduced within the critical period of language acquisition, the likelihood of permanent, irreversible effects to the child’s brain is very high. [1]
· When sign language is introduced within the critical period, the brain is more likely to process it as linguistic input, rather than visual input, making it a more effective means of communication[1]
· Because parents are often advised to use sign as a last resort, only after the child has failed to learn spoken language, these children are only exposed to accessible language after their critical period. [1]
· Language deprivation in deaf children can lead to a host of other cognitive and mental health difficulties throughout life.[1]
