Hello;

I'm trying to learn ASL for my son.
He is only slightly hard of hearing, but he has Down Syndrome and understands signs better than speech.

Hope to make new friends and pick up some tips.

Thank you!

Hi, have you tried the Signing Time videos? They are very popular.


:welcome:
 
:welcome: to AD and I applaud you for learning ASL for your child.
 
Hi, thank you so much all for the warm welcome!!! :ty:

I have tried some of the signing times, but they tend to move too fast for my guy. :(

That and the lady looks nothing like spongebob(his favorite show). :lol:

But I'm gonna keep trying with him, and I learn so much from them myself.
 
:welcome: to AllDeaf forum. Just take one step at a time with your son with signing. It take time for him to grasp what you are trying to say to him. If he is a slow learner, then he will learn at a better pace. If he is not a slow learner, then it will be a struggle trying to teach him to sign. Just go at your pace and he will get there. For now, have fun reading and posting all the threads here. See you around here. :wave:
 
signing time is more helpful for the parent to teach their children the basic than anything else. I think older children learn from the video by themselves.
