I agree, I think they do a fantastic job of showing the different perspectives of the characters so that as an audience we're able to empathize with most, while still acknowledging their flaws. For me, with Regina and Kathryn, I think Regina is often "in the right" in their arguments over parenting choices for Daphne related to her deafness, but I agree that her communication style is VERY bristly which makes her somewhat less likable than Kathryn, who has a sweeter demeanor and usually means well despite being a lot more ignorant. But when they have that conversation about the cochlear and Regina comes down on Kathryn about needing to make an effort to learn to sign, I get full body chills every time. She was SO right, and Kathryn coming back having learned "you're right; I want to learn" makes me so emotional. That is some great stuff. And YES I'm obsessed with Bay and Emmett - they are so adorable 🥰

About Daphne not learning ASL until age 8 - there are different approaches considered for communication when deaf children are born to hearing parents. It's actually more common that parents do not consider ASL and Deaf schooling and instead choose to have them mainstreamed in hearing schools and immersed in oral approaches to communication - i.e., through auditory training, speech therapy, and learning to lip read. This is because most hearing people are not educated about Deaf culture and receive all their information from their doctors, who follow the medical model of treating deafness as a disorder and try to find ways to have them fit into the hearing world. What Daphne shared with Bay about her experience at hearing schools is a great example of why there are definite drawbacks to this approach, but unfortunately most parents just aren't aware of or don't consider other options. For Daphne, they said she caught a virus which caused her to go deaf, but I can't remember if they said at what age. Likely she had had some exposure to speech before going deaf and she probably began receiving speech therapy very early to be able to speak as well as she does. So she was probably, up until that point when she met Emmett and Melody and was introduced to ASL and the Deaf Community, just doing her best trying to navigate by reading lips and using her speech. As a Speech Therapist, I always encourage families of deaf and hard-of-hearing children to incorporate use of sign language, even if they are also pursuing oral speech, because it provides them a means of communication that is fully accessible to them.
