Did they have a full access to language since birth or were they introduced to ASL later on after "trying" out other methodologies?
I just told you their primary language was ASL no others were introduced to them, even their parents signs better than I've seen most hearing parents would sign. It can't be in TC because TC are in public schools. I would have to ask what program they were in, all I know is that they grew up in a deaf residential schools.
