Right! I am seeing that big time with my class this year with my students who were raised more orally compared to the ones who were raised with ASL. I see the huge gap when it comes to introducing concepts. My "oral" based students really struggle and slow to pick up on new concepts than my "ASL" based students. Language access is the key not sounds.
