The Truth about Sign Language Acquisition
February 11 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Free
The natural sign languages used in deaf communities are rich and structured, in the same way that languages around the world are. Even still, there are many misconceptions about whether or not it is appropriate for hearing parents of deaf children to sign with them. This presentation will show what it looks like for a child to become a bimodal bilingual, using two languages in two modalities (speech and sign), and how hearing parents can be part of this journey.
