Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) children face challenges in language acquisition due to hearing loss, which is one of the most crucial factors in language development. As a result, most DHH individuals communicate using ASL gloss instead of conventional sentences used by hearing individuals. However, because they are more accustomed to ASL gloss, they often struggle with constructing and understanding standard sentences, making communication with hearing individuals difficult. To address this issue, this study proposes DHHStoryGen, an automated storybook creation system that supports the language enhancement of DHH children. DHHStoryGen is built upon a fine-tuned LLaMA model for text generation and a fine-tuned Stable Diffusion model for image generation, both trained on custom datasets specifically designed for this purpose. The text dataset is created by translating ASL gloss into natural English sentences, which is used to fine-tune LLaMA to generate storybook content. Meanwhile, the image dataset is used to fine-tune the Stable Diffusion model to generate illustrations that match with each chapter's narrative. By converting ASL gloss into structured text and providing visually engaging images, DHHStoryGen fosters a participatory language learning environment, serving as an assistant tool to enhance the literacy skills of DHH children.
