Wow....I've never heard of something like this before. (even tho' you're not actually thinking it)...Over the years, I've met deafies with hearing children, and their speech was delayed because of signing only in the home. They went to speech classes, now are doing fine.
Thankfully the bolded isn't always the case, but, I can see where it may be in a lot of cases. I have a friend who is profoundly deaf. She has two hearing children; neither of which were delayed in language aquisition or articulation. These children also have never been exposed to ASL that I know of.
Your point, though, IS well taken.
