Abstract
A 4-year-old deaf girl of hearing parents was observed during communication with (a) adults, (b) an infant, and (c) a deaf peer. In order to assure meaningful communication, this girl who had the advantage of early exposure to communication in signs modified and altered her way of signing, depending on who was being addressed.
This study serves as an illustration of the language competence attainable for deaf children when opportunities for early communication are granted.
