Good Point. I agree with you. That's why I want to teach my baby to learn sign language. I don't speak. My fiance will teach my baby how to speak and sign language in same time. My deaf friends who don't use speech and have hearing children. It will cause delay speech development. Some hearing children like to speak than sign languages. It depend on deaf parents are.

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.
