Real Talk with Deaf Parents: What Street Signs Mean to Us

In this episode of Real Talk in ASL with Deaf Parents, we discuss the familiar "Deaf Child Area"*and "Deaf Children Playing" street signs often seen in residential neighborhoods. As Deaf adults and parents of two Deaf and Hard of Hearing children, we share our personal experiences growing up seeing these signs, what they meant to us as kids, and how our perspective has changed as parents. We talk about: Why these signs felt meaningful to us as Deaf children Privacy concerns and fears of being targeted Whether these signs help improve safety for Deaf and Hard of Hearing children How neighborhood traffic and location can influence the decision Different opinions within the Deaf community How families can request a Deaf child warning sign in their area Would you put up a Deaf child sign for your family? Have you grown up with one in your neighborhood? We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments. 👇 Share your opinion below: Do you think Deaf child area signs are necessary for safety, or do they create privacy concerns?
