For this purpose, semi-structured interviews with 4 female and 7 male CODA were conducted. Findings in interviews were collected under the sub-categories of ¡°Social Differentiation and Biculturalism¡±, ¡°Sign Language¡± and ¡°Parental Responsibility and Role Reversal¡± with the theme, ¡°CODA Identity¡±, which includes the experiences that shape CODA identity development. As a result of the research, it was found that CODAs followed three patterns in the development of CODA identity: Positioning themselves between two cultures and developing a bicultural identity; identifying themselves by the deaf culture and identification with the deaf identity; and identifying themselves as CODAs and accepting CODA identity as a social group identity %K CODA %K Aile %K £¿£¿itme engellik %K £¿£¿itme engelli ku£¿ltu£¿ru£¿ ve toplumu %K Kimlik %K £¿ift ku£¿ltu£¿rlu£¿lu£¿k ve £¿ift dillilik %U http://dergipark.org.tr/ded/issue/37646/448760
