Describe Your Knowledge/Experience With Sign Language And Young Children
a. I’ve never heard of using sign language with hearing children before
b. I’ve heard of using sign language with hearing children but haven’t tried it
c. I’ve heard of using sign language with hearing children and use it occasionally
d. I use sign language often with hearing children in my home/center
e. I’m a pro and implement sign language consistently into my home/center
How Do Children Learn?

interactions
Why is communication
important?

Communicate needs/wants
Without communication…
Feel elevated stress and
frustration
Guessing game
Background
Research
Dr. Garcia
Studied children in a Deaf community
Children can communicate through signs, beginning
at 6-7 months of age
Drs. Linda Acredolo and Susan Goodwyn
Longitudinal study of infants
Babies who used gestures understood more words,
had larger vocabularies, and engaged in more
sophisticated play than babies who did not sign
CHILD
• Jumpstart language
• Stimulate intellectual
development
• EMPOWER them by
giving them a VOICE
• Ease frustration
• Reduce stress
• Increase self-esteem
Why Use Sign Language?
Tiger
CHILD CARE
 Assist in determining basic
needs of children
 Explain/show the sequence of
an event (i.e. diapering)
 Great aide in biting and
aggression
 Children with special needs
can interact in a meaningful
way with typical developing
children
 Bridge to foreign language

Review New Knowledge
Knowledge is power ~Sir Francis Bacon
• Casually model (anytime)
• Actively ‘teach’ (6mo+) depending on child’s readiness
• Begin with relevant signs (milk, more, all done)
• Be consistent! Think all the time, every time
• Great bridge to foreign language
• Another tool to stimulate language development
• Involve & support parents
Review

back to your setting?
Any other suggestions for supporting parents and
caregivers using sign language?
