“…Such competition can have a negative influence on learning a language” (p. 293). Arguments that bilingualism is harmful have largely been discredited (see the study of Spelorzi et al, 2021 , for a review, and García & Sung, 2018 , for a review on the history of bilingual education in the United States), though as Knoors and Marschark suggest, some continue to argue that bilingualism is uniquely harmful for DHH children.
