Do Deaf People Have Deaf Children?
Family & Caregivers / by sociableKiwi4537

...See more Not necessarily. In fact, it’s actually rare for deaf parents to have deaf children. Hearing parents, on the other hand, are more likely to have deaf children. Statistics show that the chances of deaf parents having deaf children are around 10%, while the chances for hearing parents having deaf children are around 90%. A hearing child whose parents are deaf is considered a CODA [https://www.alldeaf.com/coda/]. They grow up being bilingual and are fluent in spoken language, and typically fluent in sign language as well. Because of this, CODAs can naturally act as informal sign language interpreters for their deaf parents in various settings, such as parent-teacher meetings and doctor’s appointments. They also share a cultural connection with the Deaf community.
