Research clearly indicates that babies who use sign language tend to have a stronger command of verbal language and also begin speaking at an earlier age than babies who don't sign. Generally, a baby's first words will often be words that have also been signed. Check out our Article Links for more information. Little Signers, Inc. was created for use by hearing parents of hearing babies. However, parents of deaf children, in addition to parents of children with a variety of special needs will also benefit from this program.
Adults can begin learning signs at anytime.
Some babies may begin to sign as early as 6-8 months old, while others may not sign their first words until after a year. It is never too late, nor too early, to start. Our goal is to teach the adults to use sign language in everyday activities with their children. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
