Deaf persons may manifest communication deficits or atypicalities for
reasons other than mental illness.
Source of difficulty associated with studying language processing in
deaf persons include:
1. The number of deaf who experience considerable language
deprivation during childhood, a period crucially important for normal
language development.
2. Certain prenatal or Perinatal insults to the brain that cause
deafness may, in some cases, also damage other parts of the brain. Such
damage to the brain may create language deficits or disorders that
resemble those seen in persons with schizophrenia when schizophrenia is
not at all involved.
3. There are few resources to guide the psychiatric clinician
unfamiliar with the unique characteristics of the Deaf population.
