The goal of this research was to learn about the difficulties that hearing parents of deaf children have when learning Kenyan sign language.
The study used a case study design and a qualitative research approach based on the interpretive paradigm. To construct a study sample of 177 participants, the researchers utilised a purposive sampling approach. Data was collected using interview schedules, focus group discussion rules, and document analysis instructions. Before being reported, the data was transcribed, categorised, and grouped into themes.
Parents encountered three primary challenges while learning Kenyan sign language, according to the findings: it was too difficult to learn, it was too expensive to learn, and there were no institutions for parents to learn in.
Contribution to Theory, Practice, and Policy that is Unique: Hearing parents of children with hearing impairments should be supported in learning Kenyan sign language, and parents should make deliberate efforts to learn Kenyan sign language and other modes of communication in order to communicate with their children with hearing impairments, according to the study's recommendations.Author(S) Details
