Has Anyone Ever Taught Their Baby Sign Language?

January 3, 2012

My 2 year old son's speech therapist will be teaching him baby sign language. He's not speaking at all yet. I was wondering if anyone has had this experience in teaching a child this and could share with me. I find it fascinating that a child can learn to speak using these signs and wonder possibly if there are any great sites or books out that someone could suggest or even some great tips for me. I found one site but it only has a few signs listed. Would anyone care to share? Thanks.

YES!!!!!! I work with the two yr. olds in my daycare all the time. You are going to be shocked at how fast your son picks up this wonderful second language. I have found that a lot of my two's who can't speak clearly can often times get their point across using signs! Start with simple signs: Mommy, Daddy, more, yes, no, please, thank you, water, love, etc.
I've found the following site very helpful in my class. http://commtechlab.msu.edu/sites/aslweb/browser.htm
Good luck!!!
