🤗 It’s true! Sign language will not stop your child from communicating!
🤟🏽Learning sign language will not hurt your child’s speech development. In fact, research has shown that using sign language actually increases a child’s verbal skills.
👶Children can do signs (or gestures) before they are able to use words, allowing a child to start “conversations” with their parents and siblings earlier than they would be able to if they were waiting on their words – especially beneficial for children with speech delay. This interaction can increase parent and/or sibling bonding time. How exciting!!
‼️Don’t be afraid to ask our child’s Speech therapist what they about your child using sign language!
