Ärenden på initiativ av Döva rättigheter för coda Children of deaf adults
Case on the initiative of DEAF & DEAF WORLDS rights for CODA BARN children of deaf adults
Coda is an abbreviation in English (children of deaf adults)
Swedish says hearing children of deaf parents. Hearing children of deaf parents today have a natural upbringing, just like a child growing up in a hearing family, the only difference is that mother and / or father are not hearing and that the whole family uses sign language.
Being hearing children of deaf parents means living in two different worlds, which enriches but also creates a certain wonder. The technology has today developed a lot and there are now many aids that make deaf people manage on their own, unlike before when the children had to help their parents with every single everyday situation they had to interpret, for example when access to sign language interpreters was non-existent is said on TV when teletext did not exist, children today also have the right to a free stay at preschool, which helps them with language development, there is also homework help after school available for those who need it. CODA children are a group that can have very many different life experiences, and are therefore no other alike, although there are very many typical traits and behavioral patterns that children have sign language as their mother tongue means that eye contact has a central role, only sign language when communicating, while other families mix sign language with spoken language, it is important that children learn to master both of these languages the spoken language is the second language of the deaf and is mainly used to read and write as long as there have been deaf people. There has been sign language and it is a language that has developed over the years, it is required that society accepts deaf people as sign language citizens so that deafness is not an obstacle in everyday life experiences, when it comes to ensuring the best interests of cod children according to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. be the basis for care, but there a legally sound assessment must be made and l vu should be used only when it is absolutely necessary for the best interests of the children
We therefore demand
That ifo the board investigates how these children and parents should have their rights met and whether the intentions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child are complied with in the municipality
That the ifo board works to ensure that knowledge about code children and the meaning of sign language is developed throughout the municipality
Heard that the board acknowledged that the board does not show respect for our deaf & deaf culture and code children rights
Time for the board to listen to the rights of the deaf and code children, shows respect
