This proposal was based on the conviction that children who are born deaf or who become deaf in early childhood can timely and naturally develop the intrinsically human skill of language. LSC is a natural language that has visual-gesture characteristics that deaf children can grasp. This has made it easy to recreate a genuinely natural communicative atmosphere where communicative interaction, i.e. the people involved in the dialogue and the contexts of communication are as real as possible. To achieve this, the Colombian Sign Language must be the permanent environment to ensure the full participation of competent users of LSC, i.e. deaf persons. In terms of cognition and psychology, they are normal children.
Sign language allows deaf children to efficiently communicate and be successful in society.
The best linguistic role models for deaf children are deaf adults. Those who have been identified as the best role models to teach language, social identity and the strengthening of self-esteem to deaf children are deaf and fully competent LSC speaking adults. Parents of deaf children must be understood as parents and, as such, must receive the support they need The impact of a deaf child falls on the family as a whole. The whole family must go through an adjustment period to the new situation, and they must receive timely help, pertinent information and answers to their questions. An integral approach entails all daily actions, processes and contacts that allow for the complete development of a deaf child within a non-restrictive environment that favours the visual processing of information.
