Lauren Ridloff was born in 1978, on 6th April. She was born in Chicago. Her parents were just as fine as any ordinary pair but they had given birth to this girl child, deaf by birth. Her father was a musician and her mother was an artist by profession.
The parents came to know that the child is unable to hear anything, only when she was about 2 years old. Before that, the parents of Lauren thought that there were some developmental delays in the child. Soon they took up the classes for sign language to help their daughter out and she did perform really well in school too.
