Research findings suggest that there is a higher proportion of neurodegenerative and neurological disorders in the deaf population compared to the general population (Crump & Hamerdinger, 2017;Fellinger, et al, 2012;Mohamed, et al, 2019). Genetic syndromes as well as underlying neurological issues can lead to problems with cognitive processes and language expression.…”
