Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 Elaine My opinion is that if his speech is age appropriate I would suggest focusing your efforts on other things other than signing but if it's no effort to continue to use some signs to do so. For instance, I no longer page through my sign language books looking up signs but the ones I already know I still use automatically such as: No, Stop, Why, Again, etc. It takes no effort to do this and reinforce my words, and it keeps the signs fresh in my mind. It's nice running into disabled kids in waiting rooms or at friends' houses and where they're used to people ignoring them because most people can't sign, I'm able to do simple (very simple) conversations and they just look forward to seeing me.
