LEAD-K - The Rogersons And Their Deaf Child

VIDEO [CC] - Exclusive Interview: Meet Lucia and Jon Rogerson, parents of three-year-old Heath, who is Deaf from California.



FREMONT, CA -- The film project by Language Equality and Acquisition for Deaf Kids #LEADK and partnership with the Nyle DiMarco Foundation.



The medical system now aggressively encourages hearing parents not to use signed languages with their Deaf children and withhold information about American Sign Language in the U.S.



But this family boldly and bravely chose American Sign Language and English as the languages of their homes. This is their story with english subtitles.
