Delta Regional Partner Flight Attendant Goes Above and Beyond for Deaf Passenger

Apparently with 12 week notice, Delta will arrange to have a flight attendant on board, someone who is fluent in ASL (American Sign Language).
Someone else mentioned that BA may do something similar.

KUDOS to them, if this is true.

Is 12 weeks enough time for a FA to learn ASL? How many people purchase tickets that early?
