Results revealed a range of low to mid performance, with the argumentative-with-sources writing scoring similarly to narrative writing and showing incremental growth across the grade levels. Early language exposure and proficiency in ASL or spoken English were linked to better writing outcomes, highlighting the importance of early and accessible language development. The results underscore the urgent need for linguistically responsive materials, reliable ASL assessments, and evidence-based instructional strategies for addressing the range of needs of deaf students.

The analysis of claims data was conducted for the 2010 birth cohort of 38,705 children who were insured by the BARMER health insurance company. This birth cohort was then narrowed down to all children who received a prescription for a hearing device within the first 10 years of their life (n = 474).

Morphological awareness had a stronger relationship with reading comprehension for deaf than hearing readers, particularly for deaf readers with advanced morphological skills. Morphology and vocabulary were also more strongly related for the deaf group, indicating that deaf readers leverage morphology to expand their word knowledge.

Particularly illustrative participant accounts were selected to demonstrate five major lessons learned-expanding reach for recruitment; formally assessing participants' ASL fluency; selecting ethically-sound control groups; streamlining video fidelity monitoring; and making crystallized outcome assessments ASL-accessible. These lessons learned informed the design of the first-ever full-scale psychotherapy trial in the U.S. Deaf community, to be conducted from late autumn 2024 through 2028.

This suggests that the lack of emotional information from the oral region has a greater impact on deaf signers due to differences in their gaze patterns. The current study aimed to replicate and extend these findings by measuring recognition accuracy under varied facial conditions and analyzing late positive potential (LPP) amplitudes. Based on previous research, it was hypothesized that deaf signers would show reduced recognition accuracy and lower LPP amplitude compared to hearing non-signers in a top-half face condition. To test these hypotheses, 22 deaf signers and 37 hearing non-signers made emotion judgments of faces presented as intact wholes or isolated top or bottom halves, while event-related potentials were recorded. The results supported the main hypotheses, showing that the deaf signers exhibited lower recognition accuracy and reduced LPP amplitudes in the top-half face condition compared to hearing non-signers.
