Furthermore, this element of cognitive aspect of linguistic development is equally evident in other species with complex languages, such as in many species of birds (Edey & Johanson, 1999; Simonds, 2002). Typically among songbirds, if infant birds are not exposed to the songs of their parents (or other adults of their species), they lose the ability to communicate in that manner even if they are repeatedly exposed to those languages later in life (Simonds, 2002).
Feral children demonstrate precisely the same phenomenon: they lose the ability to mimic any form of human speech because they lack exposure to it in infancy. They may possess normal levels of intelligence and that accounts for their ability to establish alternate forms of communication, such as through sign language based on the logical connection to the physical world and even to some abstract concepts. Even deaf children likely have more opportunity to absorb critical information about human speech during infancy, because they observe the mouth movement patterns...
Feral children have much greater capacity to create home signs but they usually cannot ever overcome the lack of exposure to human language in infancy any more than a songbird that is deprived of the opportunity to hear the songs of their species.

Healthcare Delivery System Challenges The American healthcare system has been criticized as favoring the middle and upper classes while ignoring the lower classes. Based on these speculations, the federal government has constantly tried to institute reforms in the healthcare sector though some of the proposals have failed to overhaul the industry. With rising insurance costs, the number of citizens barred from accessing quality healthcare has increased to more than 45
There is "evidence that deaf children benefit from early exposure to sign language points to the need for in-depth sign language training for parents and other caregivers, with special attention to underserved populations such as those in rural areas," (Marschuck 2001 p 9). Parents should not rely on external schools at later developmental stages, when the damage to the child's cognitive and linguistic abilities could have already been done. Chomsky's
