Spoken Language Acquisition: Perspectives of Deaf Parents in the Visual Plane

The majority of families of deaf and hard of hearing children utilize spoken language as a communication modality. A percentage of these families include deaf/hard of hearing parents who may use visual modes of communication. This presentation offers perspectives from deaf/hoh parents on facilitating spoken language with their children, and how they facilitate language development through auditory and visual modes of communication. Participants will also consider how to maintain language separation for families using both American Sign Language and English. Lastly, participants will identify resources and opportunities for supporting deaf/hoh parents in spoken language acquisition.

  • Participants will describe the different communication modes deaf/hoh parents may use with their children.
  • Participants will consider language separation in providing visual access to spoken language.
  • Participants will identify opportunites and resources related to visual access for spoken language.
