History of Baby Signs®

The Baby Signs® program helps children develop both language & cognitive skills.  Studies show that babies who sign actually develop speech sooner & have larger vocabularies when they do start talking.

Using signs gives babies a way to “talk” with their parents, before they can talk.  Babies can communicate about the world around them, long before they have mastered their verbal speaking skills!  Babies & toddlers often use signs as a natural part of the communication process.  Many babies know how to wave “bye-bye” or use a head-shake to mean “no”.  The Baby Signs® program can help your baby use lots of other gestures to communicate just as easily as these more common “signs”.

The Baby Signs® Program is based on the ground-breaking research which began an international movement to teach hearing babies to use signs.  After 20 years of careful study, researchers proved that using signs actually enhances language, cognitive, and social-emotional development.  Click here to read more about this exciting research.
