Hearing parents with deaf children face difficult decisions about what language(s) to use with their child. Sign languages such as American Sign Language (ASL) are fully accessible to deaf children, yet most hearing parents are not proficient in ASL prior to having a deaf child. Parents are often discouraged from learning ASL based in part on an assumption that it will be too difficult, yet there is little evidence supporting this claim. In this mixed-methods study, we surveyed hearing parents of deaf children ( = 100) who had learned ASL to learn more about their experiences. In their survey responses, parents identified a range of resources that supported their ASL learning as well as frequent barriers. Parents identified strongly with belief statements indicating the importance of ASL and affirmed that learning ASL is attainable for hearing parents. We discuss the implications of this study for parents who are considering ASL as a language choice and for the professionals who guide them.
有失聪孩子的听力正常的父母面临着关于与孩子使用何种语言的艰难抉择。像美国手语（ASL）这样的手语，失聪儿童能够完全理解，然而大多数听力正常的父母在孩子失聪之前并不精通美国手语。部分基于认为学习美国手语太难的假设，父母常常被劝阻不要学习美国手语，但几乎没有证据支持这一说法。在这项混合方法研究中，我们调查了100名学习了美国手语的有失聪孩子的听力正常的父母，以更多地了解他们的经历。在他们的调查回复中，父母们指出了一系列支持他们学习美国手语的资源以及常见的障碍。父母们强烈认同表明美国手语重要性的信念陈述，并确认听力正常的父母能够学会美国手语。我们讨论了这项研究对于考虑将美国手语作为语言选择的父母以及指导他们的专业人员的意义。
