Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 > Oh my gosh, I just want to SQUEEZE the stuffing out of that kid! > How did he learn sign language? > Lenora 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 - mommy to Zach 18 months wcf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a cutie and a lot of fun to be around. Every day is an adventure!
