Baby sign language
In the 1800s, an American linguist named William Dwight Whitney acknowledged the difference in the pace at which children with deaf parents learned to speak compared to those with hearing parents. His findings inspired more research to be done recently by Doctor Joseph Garcia to determine the impact that signing has on children. Garcia’s contemporary findings have sparked the movement of baby sign language in the last decade. The movement refers to parents who, themselves, are not necessarily native signers, but through multiple tools, teach their infants a modified form of American Sign Language as a way to communicate. These initial ideas behind baby sign language have since been expanded, promoting the idea that overall communication is most successful with both gestures, as well as speaking. With that said, more parents should teach their infants sign language, not only does it improve their children’s communication skills and strengthen relationships, namely between parents and their children; it also has various cognitive benefits.
Despite the many benefits there are still concerns parents have in regards to teaching their infants sign language. These concerns include delayed speech, as well as worry that teaching their infant may be too difficult. Baby sign language has been proven to speed up the rate in which children learn to speak/ communicate. This specific form of sign language should be thought of as a stepping stone to be able to verbally communicate. Also many programs are offered to help parents and their child learn to communicate successfully through sign language. Therefore no parent needs to worry about teaching their child, rather they can learn right
Baby sign language, pioneered by Dr. Joseph Garcia, is the use of manual signing in order to communicate with infants and toddlers. While infants and toddlers have a desire to communicate their needs and wishes, they lack the ability to do so clearly because the production of speech lags behind cognitive ability in the first years of life.〔Loncke, F., Bonvillian, J. & Dooley, T. "in preparations- Applications of the Simplified Sign System". 2012.〕 Proponents of baby sign language say this gap between desire to communicate and ability often leads to frustration and tantrums.〔Garcia, Joseph. "Baby Sign Language Research." ''Sign2Me.'' Northlight Communications, Inc., 2010. Web. 23 Sep 2010. .〕〔Summary of the Benefits of Signing. ''Signing Time!'' Two Little Hands Productions, 2006. Web. 23 Sep 2010. .〕 However, since hand-eye coordination develops sooner than acquisition of verbal skills, infants can learn simple signs for common words such as "eat", "sleep", "more", "hug", "play", "cookie", and "teddy bear" before they are able to produce understandable speech. Each individual infant will develop the ability to sign at a slightly varied stages in his or her growth. Before the infant will be able to sign it is necessary for the infant to be able to focus on the hand movement and have the cognitive skill to link a certain gesture to an item resulting in why babies will begin signing at various ages.〔Cesafsky M.
