Recognition includes an independent grammar
The legislation describes LSA as a visual-spatial language with its own complete grammar, distinct from Spanish. It authorises the national executive to promote access and use, remove communication barriers and support autonomy and decision-making. [1]
Deaf organisations have a defined role
Article 3 identifies legally constituted organisations made up entirely of Deaf people as legitimate bodies for consultation on LSA. The Confederación Argentina de Sordos had organised six federal working meetings, bringing together Deaf and hearing representatives from across the provinces to develop the campaign’s priorities.

The campaign sought access from childhood
The confederation’s campaign stressed early access to language and argued that language deprivation harms children’s development and later participation. The Senate’s 2023 activity report records the final passage of the recognition law. [2][3]
