CODAs are hearing, but are raised in visual signing environments, some face difficulty with social and cultural norms that differ from the norms within their deaf community. Some CODAs receive enough exposure to spoken language models through extended family members, neighbors, and television. Typically, CODAs attend hearing schools. Due to the dichotomy between the culture in their Deaf home and the hearing culture in their school, many CODAs feel that they don't fully fit in with either culture.
The organization CODAs (Children of Deaf Adults) was established in 1983, by founder Millie Brother. CODAs has raised awareness among CODAs themselves, the deaf community and the hearing world about the unique experiences and issues of growing up between these two cultures. These experiences and issues seem to be universal among CODAs regardless of what spoken and sign languages they used. An example of similar cultural identity issues can be found with children of expatriates, in a phenomenon known as Third Culture Kid.
