Abstract
Hearing children of deaf parents (CODA) are, by their very nature, on the border between the culture of the hearing and the culture of the Deaf. Most deaf parents have hearing children, so it is time to try to approach this iculture.
Our goal is to fi nd out how CODA people manifested themselves as children and how the clash of these cultures aff ected them. Th e manifestation of these cultures was examined in six sub-areas within the childʼs CODA development.
Th e main research method was semi-structured interviews with seven individuals from the target group. Th e output is a summary of recommendations at the general level on how to approach CODAs and what to avoid in relation to them.
We come to the conclusion that CODA individuals are not negatively aff ected by this biculturalism; they are able to integrate into society in a standard way and above all to benefi t from the specifi cs of their childhood.
