Deaf Baby Toys/ AVT

I have hearing daughter... I never have any trouble find toys for her. But I have several friend who have deaf babies. Or Deaf family... they always have trouble find deaf friendly toys for their child. Or toys with very limit lights... They wasn't impressed with the toys.I dont think its fair to deaf babies... that hearing babies can get more benefits more education through variable of toys and get advance with their vocabulary plus allowed them to learn sign language? While Alexandrian Graham Bell wont allowed deaf babies learn sign language? I am curious if any one have come up with a solution? I was wondering is there a legal reason why there is no toys that have too many lights? for safety reason? I just want to help other deaf or hearing people to provide a best for their deaf child because they are our future deaf leader. I don't want this hearing world to overthrow deaf world away or replace us with "AVT"!. DEAF ROCKS!

hmm you said there were limited toys for deaf: well in ironic other side. Hearing people are actually teaching babies "basic sign lanugage". In LOT of sciencefic articles that it states "communitate with a baby in sign language would help boost the communate bridge between mother and child"

Toys are also well a "teaching", show the baby various of colors, sizes, names.. the list go on. So my agurement is like: There is always another thing to use THIS toy as another object.

As well, there's lot of frustating finding a right toy for a deaf child. BUT it dont hurt to TRY use a toy that are used for a hearing child for a deaf child.
