Why Sign?

Studies have shown that signing with children and infants results in:

increased IQs
earlier speech and larger vocabulary
improved reading skills
improved motor skills
decreased frustration and tantrums
Signing allows your infant to communicate very specific thoughts before they have the vocabulary to verbally communicate. It bridges the gap between when they understand language and when the have the motor skills to verbally communicate.

Signing will not delay verbal development as some people worry; studies have shown if anything it actually accelerates it. Research shows that babies that sign usually speak sooner and have larger vocabularies than non-signing babies.
