Most beautiful quote Dr. Laura-Ann Petitto shared: “the human brain does not discriminate between the hands and the tongue…people do.”

I shudder to think about the fact how many Deaf babies make it as successful Deaf adults through sheer luck. We show how Deaf children perform higher level in both ASL and English due to consistent early visual access to signed language. Fluent ASL speakers are superior in academic achievement, reading and writing, and social development. We are to confirm how early exposure of signed language to children is vitally important from day one!
