當語言可及性面臨風險：聾盲父母之子女與社會支持之角色

// When Language Access Is at Risk: Children of Parents With Deafblindness and the Role of Societal Support

研究以聯合國兒童與身障權利公約為依據，主張兒童有權與失聰兼失明父母溝通之語言｜在瑞典發現缺乏瑞典手語母語課綱，限制正式接觸，恐侵害兒童權利｜建議以家庭為中心提供觸覺、社會觸覺與手語支持以促進包容與福祉，並倡議以「失聰兼失明成人之子女」稱呼，承認其語言文化少數地位

// This commentary argues that children have a right to develop language that lets them communicate with a parent who has deafblindness and that societal services must ensure this right. Based on a research project grounded in the UN conventions on children’s and disability rights, the authors show in the Swedish context that the lack of a mother‑tongue syllabus for Swedish Sign Language restricts formal access and can undermine children’s rights. They conclude that family‑centered supports promoting shared tactile, social‑haptic and sign‑based communication are needed to ensure inclusion and well‑being, and propose the term “children of deafblind adults” to recognize their cultural and linguistic minority status.
