In
the past, it was more difficult for deaf parents to raise their kids
without help. Modern technology has not only made it easier for deaf
people to enjoy a variety of things (such as closed-captioned
television shows), it has also made it easier for them to raise their
children. For example, deaf parents can use sensors that hear their
babies' cries and alert them with lights and strong vibrations.
Of
course, most deaf parents teach their children whatever sign language
they use. Sign language is very easy for kids to learn to use, even
earlier than they can learn to speak. As a matter of fact, some
hearing parents teach their hearing babies how to sign to spare tears
of frustration when the kids can't express what they want and need.
Learn
sign language!
ASLU
(American Sign Language University) has tons of resources.
Start ASL is
another source of free sign language lessons.
