• Signing allows your infant to clearly communicate specific thoughts.
• Signing reduces frustration for your baby and for you Why? Because they can communicate their needs!
• Signing won't delay verbal language development; in fact, it may accelerate it! Research shows that babies who sign usually begin to speak sooner and develop larger vocabularies than non-signing babies. (This signer did some of this research, ask for more details!)
• Signing reinforces verbal language by added visual and kinesthetic emphasis to auditory input. Infants are physical, why not let them use what they have!?
• Signing children tend to be more interested in books. Reading can become a more interactive experience!
• Signing builds on babies' natural tendency to use gestures.
• Signing can help parents and pediatricians identify injuries, pain, and other ailments with signs like HURT and SICK.
• Signing children can direct parents' attention toward potential dangers or concerns.
• Sign language can serve as a language bridge between English and non-English speakers.
• Signing may actually improve a child's IQ!
