Benefits of Signing
Signing as a parent provides you with the unique opportunity to develop a window into your child's mind. By including signs in daily activities, parents spend less time guessing what a child wants and more time fulfilling specific needs.

	Signing builds on infant's natural tendency to use gestures.
	Signing helps develop fine and gross motor skills.
	Signing creates a unique and special bond with your baby - it's fun!
	Signing allows your infant to clearly communicate specific thoughts before they can speak.
	Signing reduces frustration for you child and for you!
	Signing won't delay verbal language development - in fact, it may accelerate it. Research shows that babies who sign usually start to talk sooner and develop larger vocabularies than non-signing babies.
	Signing stimulates emotional and intellectual development, an important aspect for healthy social growth.

How will sign language affect our baby's language development?
Through signs, babies learn that their thoughts can be conveyed. Signing lets babies begin to explore and understand the basic functions of language at a very early age. In addition, signs help reinforce the meaning of spoken words, especially when both words and signs are used simultaneously.

Will it be difficult for our baby to learn and understand the signs?
Will it be difficult for me to learn to sign with our baby?
No. Most babies learn to identify and the form signs quickly. ASL is compatible with the nature of language development in infants. A sign can relate an entire concept. ASL signs are very iconic; they resemble the objects or concepts they represent. This makes it much easier for both you and your child to remember signs. Start with signs relevant to your baby's world.
