ToddlerSignLanguage.com provides educational information about teaching ASL signs to hearing babies and toddlers. It is not medical, developmental, or speech-language advice.
Baby sign language is a communication supplement for pre-verbal children and is not equivalent to fluent American Sign Language, which is a complete natural language with its own grammar. Families seeking ASL fluency or Deaf community resources should learn from Deaf instructors and ASL programs.
If you have concerns about your child’s hearing, speech, or development, consult your pediatrician or a licensed speech-language pathologist.
