Infants and toddlers in care are taught some baby
sign language at Nicole's Tot-Time Daycare. This allows the
infants and toddlers to communicate their basic needs prior to verbal
language.
The baby signs we use are (but not limited to):
more,
hungry, thirsty, eat, drink, please, thank you, your welcome,
sit and all done
There are many benefits to teaching baby sign language (ASL). Some are:
allows young infants to communicate prior to
verbal language skills.
promotes language development
reduces frustration
increases speed of spatial reasoning development
creates feelings of satisfaction and
accomplishment
