yes, and in the case of most hearing families, that may be because 'leaving them as deaf and using ASL is not 'leaving them' at all -- it usually involves changing everythng about the family dynamic, from language to community to learning options. But I don't know about an alternative to 'leaving them deaf' -- providing HAs or CIs doesn't change whether or not a child is deaf.
