Deaf Child Area

I’ve seen a couple of “Deaf Child Area” road signs, and I wonder: How many deaf children have to be in a particular area in order for them to put up a sign? One? More than one?


Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think.

Isn’t one enough?

Most of the ones I’ve seen look like they were erected by private citizens, although I doubt there is any city or town council in the country stingy enough (or politically dense enough) to deny a request for an official sign.

AFAIK, it only takes one. At least, such was the case on South 11th Street in Springfield, IL in the late 70’s and early 80’s. A very nice family with big hearts took to adopting kids with disabilities, and when they adopted a deaf child they had their sign within weeks.

Doesn’t anyone remember this from before? Someone also saw the deaf child road signs.

You can put one up yourself. No biggie.

I like the “Slow children playing” signs. Why aren’t there quick witted children playing signs :slight_smile:

Markxxx–I make that joke every time I see one of those signs. I thought it was just my sick sense of humor!


Born O.K. the first time…

If you are born again, do you have two belly-buttons?

Deaf folks put out signs that say ‘Caution, slow hearing children.’
