Teaching babies to signs and speech for both is great! Which I agree on that. But to some deaf that I know have kids don't speak at all, some do have speech delay. So there a different. It important to use "Both" signs and speech for good developments for a hearing child. Deaf child don't need speech so they use signs. I have seen some deaf who can t use speech to hearing kids and their child delay speech so it always good to use both.
