depending on the parenting skills and the choices the parents make is what will mold that child grammar and speech skills and it also depends on what that child wants to learn.

ASL is not a dirty little scam that will keep your child from learning. I believe it will help a child to learn more and have more language skills due to they learn it very early on in life.

Dr's want to say this and that and they don't always know.
