Parents' hearing status and age that the child is exposed to language affect deaf children's ability to code-switch. [56] Deaf children may lack proficiency or fluency in either language during early language-learning development, they still engage in code switching activities, in which they go back and forth between signing and English to ...
Deaf children who do not learn language until later in life are more likely to process signed languages not as linguistic input, but as visual input, contrasting with children exposed from birth, who process signed language in the same region of the brain in which hearing people process spoken language.

Sensory deprivation or perceptual isolation [1] is the deliberate reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses. Simple devices such as blindfolds or hoods and earmuffs can cut off sight and hearing, while more complex devices can also cut off the sense of smell, touch, taste, thermoception (heat-sense), and the ability to know which way is down.
The Wernicke's area is the sensory portion of language at the posterior part of the left superior temporal gyrus and involves auditory verbal comprehension. [4] [5] There are recognizable speech and language developmental milestones in children. [6] For children with language delays, milestones in their language development may be different or ...
Language exposure for children is the act of making language readily available and accessible during the critical period for language acquisition.Deaf and hard of hearing children, when compared to their hearing peers, tend to face barriers to accessing language when it comes to ensuring that they will receive accessible language during their formative years.

Language-based learning disabilities or LBLD are "heterogeneous" neurological differences that can affect skills such as listening, reasoning, speaking, reading, writing, and math calculations. [1] It is also associated with movement, coordination, and direct attention. LBLD is not usually identified until the child reaches school age.
Language disorders can affect both spoken and written language, [1] and can also affect sign language; typically, all forms of language will be impaired. Current data indicates that 7% of young children display language disorder, [2] [3] with boys being diagnosed twice as often as girls. [4]
A child who is born deaf will always be deaf, [50] and they will likely still face many challenges that a hearing child will not. [50] There is also research that shows that early deprivation of language and sign language, before an implant is fitted can affect the ability to learn language. [34]
