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).
All resources listed below are produced by Bilby Publishing, using only Auslan signs!
