Zach was born so premature that a good friend of mine suggested we

teach Zach sign language to alleviate some frustration associated

with speech delays. This friend has her masters in early childhood

education so I trusted her judgement and took a class last

December. Zach started doing a lot of signs in May. He has four

sign language board books and a sign language video and he loves

them. I love knowing when he is thirsty, hungry, wanting a book,

wanting to wash his hands, wanting to ride his bike, etc. It has

helped a lot because Zach does have a significant speech delay (9

months). He sees a developmental therapist once a week that was so

happy he already knew sign language.

Sara,

That is really neat that you did that for your baby. My nephew

also has a great delay in speech. His is almost a year. He was born

with a congenital heart defect and has been another one of our families

little miracle babies like mine ( Colgan ). I sure do hope that they

make great strides Zach and your therapist.
