Steve' s story. (Toddler Sign Language)

by Mary Ann Wallace
(Katy TX)

Steve is 2 1/2 years old, he just has not wanted to communicate with us verbally. This would get very frustrating for all of us.


I called Early Childhood Intervention, and they suggested signing. So daddy & I started to learn baby sign language so that we could teach him.

Not only is he able to let us know what he wants and needs but he is actually saying the words aloud!

We are so thrilled that we are now able to communicate with our son, Steve.

Anyone who has any concerns, don't!

It helped us get through all the frustrations and he is picking up the speaking everyday, it encourages him!!!


Note from editor: Katy, what a wonderful and inspiring baby sign language story for others to draw courage from!

Isn't baby sign language utterly amazing? Thank you for sharing with us and other parents, educators, and caregivers for children.

Keep up the great job, Steve! :-)
