Abstract

Deaf children of hearing parents face many unique challenges that have been shown to adversely impact their interpersonal interactions and development. Contemporary research indicates that many of these challenges stem from environmental factors, including a lack of exposure to language concepts during early developmental stages. In this paper, we will present an innovative solution to foster connection and understanding between deaf children and hearing parents, SignBright. In addition, SignBright promotes acquisition of sign language skills by hearing parents and deaf children, providing greater opportunities for interfamilial dialogue and bonding, and promoting development of social and linguistic competencies.
