Answer to Question 1

Deaf children learn to speak in the same way that hearing children do. As there seems to be a sensitive period for language development, this child, like other children, will require stimulation from his or her environment in order for language ability to develop to its fullest. These parents can expect to see the same course of language development in their child as they might expect in a hearing child. The child may begin to use gestures that mimic those that he or she is exposed to, for example, and soon those simple gestures will be combined in an unsophisticated manner that resembles the babbling of infants. Lastly, the child will begin to emit gestures that are accurate and correctly represent the stimuli of interest. This will be followed by the combining of gestures as a means of conveying a thought or sentence.

Answer to Question 2

B
