28. CODAs Children of Deaf Adults Did you know approximately 10% of Deaf people have Deaf children, which means 90% of Deaf parents have hearing children. A hearing child of Deaf adults is known by the fingerspelled word “coda.” Though codas are hearing, they are an important part of the Deaf community and culture. Often, a coda’s first language is ASL. Contrary to popular belief, hearing children of Deaf parents rarely encounter problems learning how to speak. It can be said of codas that they have the best of both worlds! Many codas cherish ASL and the Deaf community and are proud to have this unique background.

29. Deaf Family Dynamics Historically, very few hearing people learned ASL aside from codas (children of deaf adults) and those who worked closely with Deaf people, such as the clergy. Unfortunately, very few others learned how to sign, including hearing family members and relatives. Most Deaf people are from hearing families who don’t know ASL but rely on a few signs and improvised gestures called home signs. Even today many Deaf children have parents who don’t sign, or live in a family where a mother and sibling – usually a sister – can sign. Because of this background where most hearing people did not want to learn ASL, a sincere question is Why do you? Asking this is a way for Deaf people to get to know you and your background, to learn whether you have a Deaf relative or friend, and your motivation to learn ASL. Is it for work reasons, for socialization reasons, for fun? Deaf people are genuinely pleased to see more hearing people learning ASL for many reasons, especially for mutual communication and understanding Now that ASL is becoming widely respected and studied, more parents are learning ASL for the sake of their Deaf children, a welcome sight in the Deaf community. p. 134 MASL
