Do they not learn to write and read English before they learn ASL?
It's a language with native signers. If you're born deaf to Deaf parents you grow up signing and you don't really learn English until it's time to learn to read. CODAs (children of deaf adults) also often learn sign first because that's their parents' language
Probably depends on what kind of household they grow up in. If their parents sign, a child would pick that up long before they learn to read.
