Despite advances in newborn hearing screenings, early intervention, assistive hearing technologies, research, and knowledge, poor life outcomes persist throughout the deaf community. Specifically, poor language outcomes for an overwhelming number of deaf and hard of hearing children remains a reality. Deaf children and their families are a heterogeneous group with 95% of deaf children being born into hearing families who have little to no experience with the Deaf community. Culture, values, geographic location, experiences with medical and educational professionals as well as the Deaf community affect each family during the early developmental period. The complex relationship between these variables has been a barrier to research. Using a collective case study approach grounded in Critical Deaf Theory, this study explored the experiences of families with deaf children during the early developmental period of 0-5 years old. Documents, interviews, observations, and photo elicited conversations were used to explore and understand the diverse and complex experiences of each family and how deafness was constructed during this time. In line with related literature, findings revealed that families are immersed in audist discourse at the start of their journeys. Dominant hearing ideologies remained present throughout their journeys and opportunities were often presented as a dichotomy requiring families to choose. Despite language acquisition being the primary focus for deaf children, many families only shared a surface level understanding of language development, often discussing sounds and speech instead. Early intervention teachers helped families navigate the complexities of the deaf education system but the true understanding of what it might mean to be deaf and how a family can support their deaf child came from the interactions and experiences with Deaf adults and mentors. The findings from this study in combination with current literature helped to shape various recommendations to improve families' experiences throughout the early developmental period to ultimately improve overall outcomes for deaf children.
