Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research with deaf children has shown that it is crucial to learn any language when you are young if you do not want to be at a disadvantage for the rest of your life. This is because language plays a crucial role in cognitive, social, and emotional development, and without language input during early childhood, children may struggle with various aspects of life. It is not necessary to learn spoken language before sign language as both can be learned simultaneously, but it is essential to learn some form of language early on.
