Sign Language Week Day 1: Sign Language in the home

Dr Kate Rowley (UCL Deafness Cognition and Language Research Centre), highlights the issues around language deprivation and the essential role sign language holds for supporting early language acquisition. Research indicates that up to 19 out of 20 deaf children are born into hearing families, yet families are not automatically offered Sign Language classes. The British Deaf Association’s ‘Family Signing in the Home’ project recognises that teaching sign language to deaf children, as early as possible, creates a foundation for language which is accessible, and strengthens future language development. The project provides positive role models for the families through regular visits from a Deaf Sign Language tutor.
