What I'd like to know is if this FSL will put food in my daughter's mouth if I become unable to provide for her. Will this language alone suffice in giving her a job and can it become an avenue to help her reach her full potential in life?
I can understand identity, culture and all. But the reality is, once she's out there in the world with both hearing and deaf people, will this help her communicate with everyone so she can become independent and provide for herself and her children?
