Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research shows that deaf children use simple gestures at about the same time as hearing children for basic communication before developing more complex sign language. Option A is incorrect as deaf children may have delay in learning to communicate effectively but they are not "very slow" to use any communication. Option B is also wrong as deaf children can learn sign language at a very young age, especially with early intervention. Option D is incorrect as referential signs are the basic building blocks of sign language and all deaf children use them. Option E is also incorrect as deaf children do learn gestural language, which is often the precursor to more complex forms of sign language.
