Wondering what Signing Time can do for your family?
Ask yourself the following questions:
* Would your life be a little easier if you were able to discern what your pre-verbal baby wanted before she started crying?
* How would you like to help prevent the meltdown that erupts when your toddler gets frustrated stumbling over new words and complicated sentences, and can't tell you what he wants?
* Does your child have a speech delay or other special needs that make talking difficult, and leave you wishing there was another way to communicate?
* Would you like your preschool or school-aged child to have a larger vocabulary, better retention and new ways to work on spelling?
Through PDX Loves Signing, all of these things are possible, through fun-filled, award-winning DVDs. In the process, your kids will learn the building blocks of a second language used by half a million Americans, since Signing Time only teaches real ASL signs that are used by the American Deaf population. If your daughter encounters a Deaf child in the park, or your son has a Deaf co-worker in the years to come, the signs they will learn on these DVDs will be useful communication tools.
The award-winning PBS Signing Time videosteach American Sign Language to your infant or toddler with music, pictures, and silly songs, and you'll be amazed how quickly you'll find your child starting to be able to communicate in this way. Children generally wave before they can say "bye-bye" and teaching them signs only follows their natural inclination to use body language. As Rachel Coleman, co-creator of Signing Time and mother of a Deaf daughter, points out, "babies crawl before they walk and sign before they talk."
