Information About

Child Of Deaf Adult




Because the children are hearing, but raised in a visual sign language, they may face difficulty, especially in going to hearing school. Because they have not yet learned to use their voices, they often need to go through speech therapy. Because the children are hearing, they do not go through the experience that their parents went, such as going to Deaf school. As such, many have admitted that they often feel isolated from the Deaf world and from the hearing world.

There are support groups for Deaf parents who may be concerned about raising their hearing children, as well as support groups for CODAs that have grown up into adults.
