The reason for my post is the thread about parents "allowing" their child to learn sign. Like its a taboo.

I have seen what happens to many kids when their parents dont learn sign language to meet their communication needs. My deaf brother is one of them and it is a very sad. It is a necessity for many deaf children for language and literacy development.
