    It’s kind of interesting that Katie’s last name is Leclerc, which sort of sounds like if you combined Laurent and Clerc, as in Laurent Clerc the guy who helped create ASL.

      I guess it's kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?

      Because she plays a deaf character, so she has to pronounce words differently than in rl.

    I'm hard of hearing no specific desease of anything really. I have ringing and pain and they can't figure out why. I read lips to get by. I started to talk better when I was none and now people can't tell so I hide it we cuz I'm kinda embarrassed. Recently I found out that eating disorder s can worsen ear problems or creat new ones so it has been a hard journey over the course of fifteen years. Seeing her be so incredible has helped a lot

      Yes. She used a deaf "accent" to better portray her character.

      I saw in an interview (or read it on Wikipedia or something like that) that she used a socalled deaf accent on SAB to make the deafness of her character visible to the audience.
      Her hearing impairment started to develop from her 17th so hearing and speech pattern had a normal development as in other non deaf persons.

      I believe Katie identifies as HOH because of her Meniere's Disease, so she's still part of the Deaf community. But I do agree that they should have casted a profoundly Deaf individual to play the lead role in the show

      @@bethanyloshusan2244 Definitely right about casting someone who is profoundly deaf, *BUT*...it's important not to discount HOH individuals too. It's part of why I feel stuck in the middle a lot. Too deaf to be hearing, but too hearing to be Deaf.
