Language Deprivation in Deaf children occurs when there is zero or little regular exposure to sign language from birth and within the formative period of language development when the brain has plasticity (0-5 years). Globally, only 2% of Deaf children receive education in sign language (WFD 2017). This results in a lack of brain stimulation leading to the shrinking of the brain,the ripple effects of this include poor education, health, and livelihoods outcomes
