We propose five guiding values for early sign language access as guidelines for change in the design and practice of early intervention and education of Deaf children. Applying these guiding values will facilitate language-rich environments and reduce the harms associated with language deprivation experienced by many Deaf children. These guiding values are distinct yet interconnected and are applicable for professionals and families alike.
