CODA: I'm the thumb in my family

CODA: I'm the thumb in my family

Humera Iqbal enters the remarkable world of Children of Deaf Adults, or CODAs.

Humera, associate professor of psychology at University College London, meets CODA children as they chat and translate while their parents are out and about getting things done.
