Q
Why is Daphne able to speak normally if she's deaf?
A
Her ability to pronounce things almost perfectly, is due to a lot of practice, as Daphne's non-biological mother explains she has received a lot of speech therapy. There are noticeable differences if you know what to listen for.Like some deaf people, she can read lips.Both reading lips and having good speech take a lot of hard work and commitment, and is not something all deaf people can do.-They also explain that Daphne was not born deaf; every year of hearing experience that an individual has will have an effect on how he/she accurately produces sounds and words. The first three years of life are critical for language development, and according to the show Daphne got meningitis when she was three.
