Babies can communicate
using sign language as young as 8 months old. Sign language is an excellent
tool to provide access to communicate with your baby before your baby
is able to speak.
It
has been noted that those who learn a second language show greater cognitive
development in mental flexibility, creativity, problem-solving,
conceptualizing, and reasoning skills. *
Whether you want your baby learn sign language in
order to help them to start building their language/communication skills at an
early age or if your child is Deaf, hard of hearing, autistic or
non-verbal; learning American Sign Language can be a very helpful tool in
communication and an excellent opportunity for you and your child learn
together.
