Kids who are bullies will find any reason to do their horrible thing. A few questions:
Do you have other deaf people in your family / circle of friends?
What language is your daughter currently using to communicate with your family?
What educational / intervention programs do you have access to (sign language based parent infant groups, sign language instruction, deaf or other schools with programs for toddlers?)
