Infants taught sign language:

• Can communicate wants and needs to their caregivers at an early age
• Will have an earlier understanding of the English language
• May learn to speak earlier
• Could have an above-average ability later in life to learn a new language
• May possibly have a higher I.Q.

Parents who sign with their baby may experience:

• Lower frustration levels (for both parent and baby) because the baby can communicate with you
• Deeper bonding with their baby because they have greater insight into their baby’s mind
• A higher level of trust from their baby because he or she knows that you understand what he or she is trying to tell you
• Satisfaction. What a great feeling it is to know that you can effectively communicate with your pre-verbal infant
