The Baby Signs® Program is a simple and fun program using sign language to communicate with hearing babies and toddlers before they can talk. Through two decades of academic research, including a long-term study funded by the National Institutes of Health, Drs. Acredolo and Goodwyn have demonstrated that the Baby Signs® Program has dramatic benefits, including decreasing frustration for babies and parents, enriching the parent-child bond, boosting emotional development, helping babies talk sooner—even raising IQ.
The Baby Signs® Program is the world's leading sign language program for hearing babies because it's the only program:
- created by child development experts specifically for babies.
- proven through scientific research to provide positive benefits for babies.
- based on American Sign Language but flexible to fit the needs of all families.
- with a full range of classes and products for parents and babies.
- that offers trainings for Early Childhood Educators.
