Abstract

Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children experience systematic barriers to equitable education due to intentional or unintentional ableist views that can lead to a general lack of awareness about the value of natural sign languages, and insufficient resources supporting sign language development. Furthermore, an imbalance of information in favor of spoken languages often stems from a phonocentric perspective that views signing as an inferior form of communication that also hinders development of spoken language. To the contrary, research demonstrates that early adoption of a natural sign language confers critical protection from the risks of language deprivation without endangering spoken language development. In this position paper, we draw attention to deep societal biases about language in information presented to parents of DHH children, against early exposure to a natural sign language. We outline actions that parents and professionals can adopt to maximize DHH children's chances for on-time language development.

家庭ASL:为聋哑儿童提供公平教育的早期开端。
由于有意或无意的能力主义观点,聋哑儿童在公平教育方面遇到了系统性障碍,这可能导致人们普遍缺乏对自然手语价值的认识,以及支持手语发展的资源不足。此外,有利于口语的信息不平衡往往源于以声音为中心的观点,这种观点认为签名是一种低级的交流形式,也阻碍了口语的发展。相反,研究表明,早期采用自然手语可以在不危及口语发展的情况下,保护人们免受语言匮乏的风险。在这份立场文件中,我们提请注意向DHH儿童父母提供的信息中对语言的深刻社会偏见,反对早期接触自然手语。我们概述了家长和专业人士可以采取的行动,以最大限度地提高DHH儿童及时语言发展的机会。

期刊介绍: Topics in Early Childhood Special Education (TECSE) communicates information about early intervention, which is defined broadly and includes services provided to (a) infants, toddlers, and preschoolers who are at risk for or display developmental delays and disabilities and (b) the families of such youngsters. TECSE includes articles on personnel preparation, policy issues, and operation of intervention programs. The intent is to publish information that will improve the lives of young children and their families. Manuscripts from (a) diverse theoretical perspectives, (b) all disciplines related to early intervention, and (c) all authors with information of value to the early intervention community are welcome. There are two topical issues—which address an identified problem, trend, or subject of concern and importance to early intervention—and two non-topical issues.
