What does CODA stand for?

The term CODA stands for "Child of Deaf Adults." This designation refers to individuals who are hearing but were raised in a household where one or both parents are deaf. CODAs often bridge two worlds: the hearing world and the Deaf community, which gives them a unique perspective and cultural experience. They frequently develop strong communication skills in both spoken and sign language and may serve as interpreters for their parents or family members. This role can deeply influence their understanding of Deaf culture and identity.

The other options, while they include the term "Deaf," do not accurately represent the meaning of CODA within the context of Deaf culture.
