I have a question. My son, almost 4, is profoundly deaf. My mother, without my consent, looked into having 2 Deaf Child Area signs posted on the street right near our house. I have mixed feelings about this. I am working very hard on street safety with him, but, if he does run into the street he won't hear me call to him. I think it is a good thing from a safety standpoint. But, I feel very strongly that I want to bring him up to not see himself as a disabled person. Also, it looks almost identical to the Dead End sign. When he starts reading is he going to make a weird association. I really want the opinion of other Deaf people. How would that have made you feel as a child?
