To educate Hearing parents of Deaf child (by Noguerasgrlz)
This message by Stephanie Nogueras is very important for all of the hearing parents of their deaf child(ren). Every deaf/hard of hearing child has struggled through their whole life to have a speech therapy without ASL (American Sign Language), but please understand that they can’t be perfect. All of the communications they have with the hearing people is an effective communication. Every parent need to learn how to use ASL for their child(ren) because you know every of deaf child has struggled to learn how to speak for YOU! You think it’s fair that they can learn how to speak only without not to be able to hear if you can learn how to use ASL. No, it’s not fair because it’s all in an effective communication. Let every child be loved and treated as a normal child.
PS. This is what I had been gone through a lot. I’ve raised in my hearing family, and also I am only the one deaf person. My whole family has tried to treat me like normal, but sometimes, it’s impossible. But all I know is that they love me no matter who and what I am. Every child deserves to be loved.
