Deaf Family Dynamics
Family dynamics in the Deaf Community is as varied as anyone’s family structure. It is important to note some of the potentially unique situations that present themselves for the Deaf. For example, it is said that 90% of deaf children are born to hearing families, and within that percentage, 75% of the hearing parents do not sign with their deaf children. Additionally, many siblings and extended family members (aunts, uncles, and cousins) do not sign. As you can imagine, this would create an even more isolating situation for a child that is already set apart simply by the fact of their deafness.

Deaf Family Dynamics
Daily events like dinner can leave children feeling left out, as they may not know what is being discussed around the dinner table. Family reunions can be straining if the crowds overlook the challenges of the Deaf relative. Although deaf students can alleviate this frustration in school with other deaf kids, this environment can also leave them feeling marginalized. One teacher for the deaf has shared that he sometimes had no knowledge of where the parents of his pupils worked or even what they did for a living. The more people learn American Sign Language, the more likely Deaf people can feel a connection in a world that is inherently isolating from the start. Will you do your part?
