Auslan (Australian Sign Language) Products for Baby
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).

Baby Sign For Australian's
Formally known as Baby Sign For Australian Beginners, this book was the winner of the most popular Baby Sign Resource 2009 in the Hearing Awareness Week, Sign Product Awards.
This is the third edition of this extremely popular book.
Now it has a new cover, comes in the smaller (handbag friendly) size of 21 X 14.5 cm and includes even more signs and information to help you.
“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:
Over 230 sign images with easy to understand explanations.
Signs are listed under the categories :Getting Dressed, Food Time, Play Time, At the Park, Bath Time, Bed Time.
To help you select one part of your day at a time, in which to learn and introduce sign.
With additional sections including My Family, Pets, Important Words and Colours.
Five popular nursery rhymes / songs.
