What shocks me is how could parents NOT want to learn ASL if their child is deaf? I mean, what parent would not want to be able to communicate with their child?? I don't know... but it blows my mind how a parent can indirectly blame their child for being deaf by refusing to learn a way to communicate with them. I almost view this lack of learning as intentional neglect --- emotional neglect. A child needs to be able to communicate with his or her parents and the child has done nothing wrong by not being able to hear.
