What is Baby Sign?
Baby sign is a term used to describe the introduction of Sign Language to a pre-verbal infant or toddler. It is also, often the first step for parents learning to sign with a child who may not ever be able to communicate orally.

Which Sign Language to use?
A small set of signs are usually adopted first, based of common objects and terms, that would be familiar to the childs everyday life. In Australia we adopt these from AUSLAN (which stands for AUStralian Sign LANguage). We use Auslan with infants, even if the intention is not to continue signing after the child begins to articuate as it is our indiginous sign language. It is nationally recognised and used within many childcare centers, amongst family day care centers, and of course by sign dependant Australians. By choosing to learn AUSLAN, even at the Baby Sign level, your child will be able to communicate these signs with our AUSLAN users; which may include a deaf child at their childcare or school later in life.

There are systems available that are primarialy based on a "made up" language, some even claim to be Auslan! We do not condon the use of such systems as they are not transferable to childcare and family day care etc. Neither are foriegn systems, such as those based in ASL (American Sign Language).

“Parents of signing children have long known the immense joy and relief that comes when their tiny 6 month old signs “food”, or “nappy”; instead of minutes of high pitched screaming while you desperately try to decipher the cause of your childs distress.” Author, Lee Bilby

Pre-verbal children have the capability to comprehend speech well before vocal cords develop. Sign language can take away the developmental gap between the ability to communicate and the ability to speak!

This book has been written by Lee Bilby, nationally respected expert in sign language acquisition by parents and young children. She brings to this book over 12 years experience in helping parents, carers and teachers use sign language with children.

She also brings to this book ‘category based learning’. A method of learning developed by her that has proven to be the most efficient method of learning. Inside you will find:
