Teaching signs alongside spoken language can be a great way to support early communication and reduce frustration for little ones with language delays.
Gestures often develop before verbal speech, making sign language a helpful visual support for children learning to communicate. Try modeling these signs naturally during play and daily routines while also saying the word out loud (ex: signing “more” while saying “more bubbles!”). Repetition, play, and consistency are key!
Remember: communication comes in many forms, and every attempt to communicate matters. 💛
