Teach Me Baby Signs®
Welcome to the Baby Signs® Program
Have you ever wondered what your baby is thinking? Or why your baby is crying? The Baby Signs® Program gives babies a way to "talk" with their parents, before they can talk. Babies can communicate about the world around them, long before they have mastered their verbal speaking skills!
Babies and toddlers often use signs as a natural part of the communication process. Many babies know how to wave "bye-bye" or use a head shake to mean "no." The Baby Signs® Program can help you and your baby communicate a hosts of meaningful concepts just as easily as these more common gestures.
About the Baby Signs® Program
The Baby Signs® Program helps children develop both language and cognitive skills. Babies who sign are able to develop speech sooner and long-term studies show these early skills can translate into better grades.
The
Baby Signs® Program is based on the groundbreaking research which began
an international movement to teach hearing babies to use signs. After
20 years of careful study, researchers proved that using signs actually
enhances language, cognitive, and social-emotional development. Click here to read more about this exciting research.
The Baby Signs Institute offers parent workshops and classes to teach parents how to use the Baby Signs® Program at home. To find out more about classes and products, please look through our website or send us an email with your questions.
