New Paper! Deaf children of hearing parents have age-level vocabulary growth when exposed to ASL by six-months

We are excited to share our new paper, published in the Journal of Pediatrics. We find that deaf children who have hearing parents have age-expected vocabulary growth when they are exposed to ASL by 6 months. Our findings support the notion that ASL can support healthy language development in deaf children with hearing parents, even if parents are learning ASL along with their children.
