Moffett), in a wealthy neighborhood along with her brother Toby (Lucas Grabeel). After studying blood types in school, Bay begins to investigate why her blood type does not match her parents. When the family confirms Bay is not biologically related, they discover the hospital mistakenly switched her with another newborn. Enter Daphne Vasquez (Katie Leclerc), a deaf teen living with her struggling single mother Regina (Constance Marie) and grandmother in a working class neighborhood. A case of meningitis caused Daphne to loose her hearing as a child, so she attends a deaf and hard of hearing school where she plays basketball.When the two families meet, the girls toil with their identities as Bay relates to her birth mother's artistic abilities and Daphne is drawn to John's athletic skills. The Kennishes' learn that Regina is facing financial woes and propose the Vasquezes move into their guest home. The new living situation forces the girls, along with both families, to understand their differences and embrace their similarities.Deaf advocate Marlee Matlin plays a friend of Regina's and the mother of Emmett (Sean Berdy), Daphne's best friend and a deaf schoolmate.

its wierd to hear her voice so regular

[juicyjuice1958]

@TheConstantSeeker How is that unfair??? So is it unfair to play a nice character if you're mean? Or viceversa? Or is it unfair to play a musical prodigy when YOu actually arent? NOOOO . THAT'S WHY ITS CALLED ACTING!!!!

[astar691]

Will u teach me some sign language. I no 30 words already. :)

@SuperNaturalMotel She actually has an inner ear disorder which causes her to lose her hearing, but she was diagnoised when she was 20 so it didn't affect her speech.

[GRANDerzBritney]

Katie is hard of hearing. She was doing a project for school and volunteered to have her ears checked for part of the project. There they told her she was hard of hearing and qualified for hearing aids but couldn't get them because they were too expensive. Some days she can hear just fine and others she can't hear at all. When she joined the switched at birth cast she finally got the hearing aids she had needed for quite awhile.

@SuperNaturalMotel she is not really deaf

[SuperNaturalMotel]

is she really deaf or does she just act it because she sounds So Good Here but on the show, She still speaks well on the show but not as good as she does here. Why Is that? Is it because she's not really deaf, or am i missing something? Cuz i saw an interview where they were looking for heard of hearing or deaf actors!! So I dunno, And I Love this Show.

[sugaluv4141]

That's a lot of hours

[alaniyla]

@dirtbikegurl125 um she was diagnosed with it when she was at the end of her high school years thats why she can probably talk a lot better then you can.

[dirtbikegurl125]

i am hard of hearing and its really hard to talk like a normal person

[babydol1892]

@Rose123Hale456 because although katie is hard of hearing, the condition she has didn't get really bad until later in her life, after she already knew how to speak perfectly fine. Where as Daphanie (her character) has been def since she was 3, so she never learned how to speak fluently

[Brookej67]

I HARD OF HEARING!! I NEED SIGNING! OR CAPTIONING! :(
