Sign to me, baby! Giveaway
There was a lot of talk about speech delays last week and so we wanted to focus on a giveaway for parents who want to start working with their kiddos on signing. The Special Needs Store offered up a DVD, Signing Time, Series 1, Volume 1, My First Signs.
We did simple signs with our kids when there were babies because their delays were global. The word “global” sure means that exactly. For our son, who started speech therapy when he was 18 months, signing was a way to ease frustration. Within a few weeks he had a few signs with the most important being “more.”
He used “more” for nearly everything in his life. Food, play, even for one of us carrying him around because he always wanted MORE, instead less (he never really took to the sign “less”). We used signing with our girl too, but she did find her words sooner than our boy. The word eat, more and momma where her favorites!
Here’s the information on the Signing Times, Vol. 1 DVD. If I had a little one, I would go for this giveaway because we were making our sign language up as we went along!

Julia Roberts is founder of Support for Special Needs and has been a regular contributor since its inception in May 2010. A mom to two kids with special needs, she didn't want other parents to feel what is the often isolating world of raising a child (or two!) with disabilities. Her kids had kidney transplants at the age of eight and will need liver transplants in the future as a result of ARPKD/CHF. They both have vision disorders and learning disabilities.
Great idea. My daughter (adopted this spring at 23 months) is hard of hearing, and came to us with no language – spoken or signed. We are doing everything we can to get her signing.
