Question: is daphne deaf in real life?
Answer: Katie Leclerc, AKA Daphne, for those of you D/deaf people who don't know (I didn't until my friends told me how disgusting and cruel it was, and embarrassing), adopts a "deaf accent" for her role on Switched at Birth. Katie Leclerc is not deaf. She has a hearing loss that fluctuates, but she does not identify as deaf.
