WHAT IT FOUND

This is a theoretical argument about sign language linguistics and deaf studies.

It reports no patients, outcomes, or clinical methods, so there is nothing here to change practice.

What this paper is

This is a theoretical critical disability and raciolinguistic essay about sign language linguistics, deaf education history, and language ideology. It contains no study methods, participants, outcomes, or clinical findings, so there is nothing here to act on.

The easy way to misread this

Do not read this as evidence that a therapy or assessment works for deaf or hard of hearing patients. It contains no clinical methods or results.
