Deaf Parenting Perspectives
School Involvement
I've attended meetings, parents' evenings and school reviews throughout my children's education. Being involved has never been the challenge. Having accessible communication has.
Language Development
People sometimes question whether Deaf parents can support their children's language development. In our family, BSL has always been part of how we share ideas, express feelings and understand one another.
Communication
When people ask how Deaf parents communicate with their children, I think about the everyday moments of connection in our family. Communication has never been limited to hearing words.
