Oliver Sacks Quotes

Deaf, Signing Parents Will "babble" To Their Infants In Sign, Just As Hearing Parents Do Orally; This Is How The Child Learns Language, In A Dialogic Fashion. The Infant's Brain Is Especially Attuned To Learning Language In The First Three Or Four Years, Whether This Is An Oral Language Or A Signed One. But If A Child Learns No Language At All During The Critical Period, Language Acquisition May Be Extremely Difficult Later. Thus A Deaf Child Of Deaf Parents Will Grow Up "speaking" Sign, But A Deaf Child Of Hearing Parents Often Grows Up With No Real Language At All, Unless He Is Exposed Early To A Signing Community.
