Comments on: American Sign Language https://stephaniekarpwrites.com/2008/03/american-sign-language/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=american-sign-language Adoption changed my life. I write about this and so much more.

I did teach Olivia a few signs when she was about 18 months old, she was slow to talk and it really helped with the frustrations. The only one we really used was the sign for ‘more’. I tried to teach some others, like ‘milk’.

It will augment speech as she learns English. Regina, wonderful! Check out http://www.sign2me.com and http://www.signingtime.com. These programs use true ASL and not modified signs that some companies do call “baby signs.” True ASL is best because the signs will be consistent in your home, at schools, with others who know ASL — and your child will be learning the 3rd most used language in the USA. (Disregard if you were just using the term “baby signs” as an expression which just meant you’d be signing with your baby.) Sign2Me has info that talks about the benefits of using true ASL vs using “modified” signs. Your baby might modify ASL on their own till they “get” it, but once they do it will be correct. Gymboree offers Baby Signs classes but the signs are not consistent with what my kids know.

Last but not least, Mom, thank you so much for your continued support. Glad you finally checked out my blog. I LOVE YOU!

We are planning to use baby signs with our child too and are very excited about it.

You fill Dad & I with such pride and joy. Should this dream come true there is one very lucky child out there waiting to become part of the Karp family
