Baby Signs® (Be sure to scroll down and check out the video clip of my granddaughter Bethany signing at 18 mos!)
Welcome to the Baby Signs® Program in Chester County!
You are invited to join the thousands of families who have already
discovered the magic of this revolutionary new way to talk with babies
before they can talk with you.
Babies have a lot to say, even before they can actually speak. With
the Baby Signs® Program babies can let you know what they see,
what they need and even how they feel. The Baby Signs® Program
is the world's leading sign language program for hearing babies and
is based on the ground breaking work of Drs. Linda Acredolo and
Susan Goodwyn. Their research funded
by the National Institutes of Health proved that children who
used sign language as infants actually talked sooner, had a larger
vocabulary and by the age of eight had a 12 point higher IQ. Dr. Acredolo
and Dr. Goodwyn are the authors of the Baby Signs® book which has
become the "bible" of infant sign language and has been translated
into 14 languages.
Proven Benefits of using the Baby Signs® Program:
- Reduces frustration and builds trust
- Allows babies to share their world
- Strengthens the parent/infant bond
- Reveals how smart babies really are
- Promotes positive emotional development
- Boosts babies' self confidence
- Helps babies learn to talk
- Jumpstarts intellectual development
