nInnthe past, it was more difficult for deaf parents to raise their kidsnwithout help. Modern technology has not only made it easier for deafnpeople to enjoy a variety of things (such as closed-captionedntelevision shows), it has also made it easier for them to raise theirnchildren. For example, deaf parents can use sensors that hear theirnbabies’ cries and alert them with lights and strong vibrations. n

Ofncourse, most deaf parents teach their children whatever sign languagenthey use. Sign language is very easy for kids to learn to use, evennearlier than they can learn to speak. As a matter of fact, somenhearing parents teach their hearing babies how to sign to spare tearsnof frustration when the kids can’t express what they want and need.
