SIGNING WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

Various Special Needs children (or adults) experience different frustrating aspects of which the breakdown in communication is one.
The various special needs spectrums in which help in communication is needed include Autism, Down Syndrome, Verbal Dyspraxia, Hearing Loss, Cerebral Palsy and many others.

Children (or adults) may struggle with the complexity of spoken language but yet have the ability to communicate. Sign Language creates an avenue of communication that strengthens speech and language development. There are several ways to help children / individuals to talk but the most popular way is to teach speech through the utilization of Sign Language. Sign Language and verbal communication can be taught simultaneously, therefore demonstrating to the child / individual that spoken words and mastered signs go hand in hand.

Sign Language is a wonderful tool for parents, family, caregivers, educators and therapists working with special needs children and adults. The benefits are life changing.
