Abstract
<jats:p>Having caregivers actively engage in child-directed speech, and providing face-to-face communication to their child, can play a central role in the child's language, cognitive, and social development over their lifetime. However, over 90% of Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) children are born to hearing parents who might not know American Sign Language (ASL) and are faced with the potentially steep learning curve of a new language. With my dissertation work, I plan on investigating assistive communication technologies that can support caregivers in communicating with their DHH children. This work aims to explore design guidelines and hands-on prototypes that can bridge this communicative gap.</jats:p>
