Description
Teacher's Aid - for Parents, Teachers and Homeschoolers. Shows how to teach signing to babies or children with special needs. Works for all children of all abilities, music and movement for all. Developed by a Board Certified Music Therapist and a father of a child with special needs. The DVD has three parts, 1. Why Use Signing Songs 2. Song/sign introduction and songs and 3. Songs. 7 songs in all. The DVD is not over stimulatingly with flashing images for children who might be sensitive to it. Using Songs with signs enables babies, children with special needs to speak with their hands before they can talk. Increases clarity of child's wants and needs. Promotes active participation and play. Greatly expands your child's vocabulary. Develops self esteem Combines visual, physical, verbal and musical learning. Stimulates brain development Develops motor skills, using movement. Creates a rich learning environment Fosters language growth and music appreciation. How is sign language used in this video? Sometimes sign language is used to communicate full sentences, especially for children with hearing impairments. In this instance, only specific words in the songs will be highlighted by sign. Target words are paired with signs in music to provide for an opportunity for learning in a structured and fun manner. Signs in this video are not exact; rather they are made to be appropriate for the cognitive and fine motor developmental level of children. The signs, gestures, and imitation skills learned are meant to be an easy way to bridge the gap until more expressive language skills are learned. In addition to specific signs, it is important for children to be able to imitate actions and gestures. Songs in this video provide also provide opportunity to practice imitation skills, not just specific signs. Will sign language inhibit verbal communication? Sign Language may actually facilitate and encourage a child's speech and language development. Signing provides a bridge for communication until verbal speech begins. Often, children learn signs, then as verbal speech is learned pair with signs with the words. Later, children naturally discontinue use of the signs when they are motivated to talk by their environment. Are there any additional benefits of sign? * Sign language may increase a child's independence by providing a way for them to initiate interactions with their environment. * Decrease a child's frustration by providing a developmentally appropriate way to communicate before they can verbalize * May help a child speak sooner by increasing their receptive language vocabulary * Strengthens imitation skills * Increases attention to task * Provides an opportunity to strengthen and develop fine motor skills * Encourage cognitive development and neuron connections in the brain * Provides for increased self-confidence * Gives parents an idea of how much their child understands at a young age

 Good DVD - content is king June 14, 2010
Girard Sagmiller (shawnee)
If content is king, this is a king DVD. The kid-o's love it, sing along, not alot of flashing photo and screens for kid-o's that might get over wound up with that.
The Non Profit, The Gifted Learning Projecct, designed the DVD to help children with special needs. But the DVD can be helpful in developing the speech and motor skills of all children. Not a high paid Hollywood cut movie, but well done.
 Not real ASL October 18, 2008

This movie is lying a bit with the title...Yes they are signing songs...but the signs she uses are not true ASL signs. If youare looking to teach your children sign language this is not the movie for you! I am VERY DISAPOINTED WITH THIS!

Video did not contain many signs. My child did not like it. It did not hold his attention. I would not recommend it.

Dont buy this it is very boring. and not woth the time or money. Unless you want to here for the billionth time why signing is good.However, if you are planing to buy a sign video you most likely already know that.
My children love to watch this dvd May 30, 2007
mom of two beautiful children (Shawnee, KS United States)
I purchased this dvd and my children love it!! I have two children, one who has special needs. The dvd closely follows the signs and songs we are learning at "school" (early intervention). I love the therapist explaining the reason to teach signing at the beginning and I highly agree based on our experience. I love that the dvd has a repeat feature. I highly recommend this dvd, and also think that siblings who may know more signs or who can even speak enjoy watching. The dvd is also not overly "flashy" so it does not over stimulate children, yet still keeps their attention.
