User talk:Elanajp/Language acquisition by deaf children

I think this is a good draft! The section on sign language acquisition (including the comments underneath in "ideas for content redo") is strong, as well as last section about relationships of language acquisition to other domains of development. Making the Lead more concise and less repetitive with the second section might make the article easier for readers to follow and understand. There are sentences in those paragraphs that I had to reread because they were long and full of content, so separating them into more concise statements would be helpful. In the spoken language acquisition section, I think it might be a good note to include that spoken language acquisition is greatly determined by residual hearing and amount of gain from amplification (not all children benefit from amplification devices). Access to support services (aural rehabilitation, auditory training, speech therapy) is also related to the outcome of deaf children learning spoken language. I liked the Methods section, I think it adds valuable information to the article; maybe, include more sources for those sections that are from the original article. Looking forward to seeing the final article! JuliaLeary (talk) 17:29, 5 April 2020 (UTC)JuliaLeary
