Goals

Babies can quickly learn to sign. Their language understanding and motor skills develop much faster than their ability to speak. And they love to imitate: most babies, for example, figure out how to wave and point a finger long before they can say “bye bye” or “look at that!”

  • Most baby signatories speak earlier than babies who do not learn sign language.

Why use sign language with my baby?

The simplest answer is that using signs allows your baby to express himself in gestures before he can speak in words. Research shows it can help your baby learn to speak in words earlier.

Many people teach their hearing children a little ASL before they can even speak. This can help toddlers learn to better express their needs effectively before their verbal communication develops. ASL is a visual language and often uses sign variations to create visual stories. The process of creating these stories involves critical thinking that could be applied to storytelling and creating messages in other languages!

  • Increase communication opportunities
  • Reduces children’s frustration
  • Reduces frustration and confusion for caregivers
  • Strengthens the social and emotional bond
  • Help the child learn that movements have meaning
  • Is My Toddler Too Old For Baby Sign Language?

Simply, no.

Points covered

Sign language can be a valuable tool for toddlers, even once they can talk, as it can be very difficult for them to access and use the spoken words they know when they are overwhelmed with big emotions (frustration, anger, etc.).

Baby signing experts believe that frustration and tantrums can be avoided by bridging the gap between the desire to communicate and the ability to do so. It is also believed that babies who learn baby sign language experience psychological benefits, such as improved self-confidence and self-esteem.

Over 30 years of research has shown that nonverbal autistic people can learn to communicate with sign language. Many autistic children respond well to sign language because it is visually based and provides a rapid means of communication. Research also shows that it can actually help nonverbal people become verbal.
