I am with you Stephanie. The more tools we can give our kids to communicate at that age, the better!

I am so thankful for sign language! my middle, a very intense boy, has always found it challenging to communicate,verbally. i began teaching him to sign at about 6 months, and it has truely been a God send! his first sentence was “more please”…referring to icecream. i figured, if you can sign it, you can have it!…well, in moderation, that is! i have tought our youngest and she has done beautifully! to those nay-sayers, i simply say”spend a little time with my kid, and then decide”…praise-praise to sign language!

I am so glad I was introduced to baby signing too. It just makes sense! I’m glad your son outgrew/overcame his speech difficulties!

Baby Sign was a lifesaver for my son who had a severe speech problem. I didn’t know that when he was 6 months old but he chatters nonstop now, at age 4, and doesn’t even remember that he used to sign everything. The signing did not cause his speech problem. It was not a delay, but something different, similar to a movement disorder of the speech muscles and nerves. Signing helped us communicate for the first 3 1/2 years of his life.

I’m screening 18monthers for various developmental disorders, it is part of a research study through our children’s hospital and quite a few of the children who have speech delay problems use sign instead of speaking. The principle investigator (she’s a Speech-Language Pathologist) says that research is showing that it is delaying speech. (and she’s a much more reliable source than wikkipedia will ever be)

Though I taught my daughter sign language before there was a concern, it’s been a life saver! She has a speech disorder and because of the disconnect between the brain and mouth, signs actually help her to remember words.

For my normal son, he will learn signs too. Children naturally can use their hands to communicate long before having the words to do it.

I just found this post. I know it was made a while ago, but thanks for sharing this information. I have started teaching my little girl sign language. I have a brother who is hard-of-hearing and sister-in-law who is deaf, and they have 5 children who can hear. It has been interesting to see them all learn sign language before learning to speak, and how it has helped their verbal development. Thanks for the info!
