Good morning.
Hearing parents, audiologists, and pediatricians who withhold sign language cause language deprivation by failing to provide comprehensible language to deaf children.
Widespread sign language deprivation has a source. If we want to stop LDS, we must address this.
The most coherent approach to ending endemic sign language deprivation syndrome:
1) NAME THE MODALITY - It is not just language deprivation, it is SIGN language deprivation.
2) IDENTITY THE SOURCE - deaf kids don't withhold language form themselves; there is a biosocial cause.

1. Howdy folks!
I'm pleased to announce the "digital premiere" of my newest #deafed video. [ASL, with English subs and image descriptions.] #deafpedagogy
"The Pragmatics of Visual Tool Design A How to and Why do Guide for Practitioners of Deaf Pedagogy"
2. In this video, Part 1 - WHAT? discusses a general analysis of visual tools with plenty of examples drawn from deaf studies domains.
In Part 2 - HOW? I analyze the research literature on deaf pedagogy with visual tools, demonstrate an analysis of a master teacher's use of VTs.
In deaf education, VTs have been studied conceptually (Yuknis, Santini, & Appanah, 2017), theoretically (Bauman & Murray, 2010), and empirically (Easterbrooks & Stoner, 2006).

Recent studies have synthesized basic theoretical definitions and qualitative descriptions of VTs in contexts of higher learning in deaf education (Skyer, 2021).
This summary of research shows partial answers as to why and for whom visual tools are useful in deaf education.
