I have recently been watching your show on PBS. I absoutley love it. I am an adult but have found the show entertaining even for adults. I also really appreciate that it is on public television because I would not have found it otherwise. I am hoping to be able to buy the dvd's soon. I just wanted to say THANK YOU.

He LOVES the videos ...... We have All of them and they are being played multiple times a day! I would have to say he is pretty much obsessed with them..... To say it mildly! We even loaded them on his iPad ----- It would be really helpful to have some videos centered around some holidays like the way the birthday video is! It would also be great to have some more story videos-----some childrens books in sign! Andrew's expressive language is poor but we have discovered he knows a lot of sign receptively by using the flashcards in a picture exchange fashion similar to the PECS program. He can pick out the entire alphabet from cards when we sign the letters to him....as well as the colors and other vocab words! Thank you so much for turning your personal tragedy into a HUGE blessing and benefit for others! Chris Hi
What a blessing your videos have been to our family —- my youngest son Andrew was born with DS and later found out he was deaf also…..has a CI but never really progressed well with the auditory verbal approach alone…..He also has some autistic features and behaviors!
He LOVES the videos …… We have All of them and they are being played multiple times a day! I would have to say he is pretty much obsessed with them….. To say it mildly!
We even loaded them on his iPad —–

It would be really helpful to have some videos centered around some holidays like the way the birthday video is! It would also be great to have some more story videos—–some childrens books in sign!

Happy birthday, guys!!) get so excited when the Baby Signing dvd begins - they both light up and watch intently...so what better gift for Christmas than the next set of two dvds and a book for each of them. Thanks, Rachel, so very much, for sharing your talents with all of us. My grand-twins (one year old today!

My babygirl was 10 weeks early with a grade 3 brain bleed, failed earring test, Retina was detaching (had laser surgery at 2mo), her esophagus not attached to her stomach (surgery at 10hrs old), heart,trachea and kidney issues, aspiration....so I totally understand the heartache you guys must have gone trhough...so sorry. That being said, my daughter is 17mo now and is doing well. She is bilingual (French and English) and I started her on BST at 14mo and she was signing after watching it 3 times! Then when I would pop in a new DVD she would sign the first time she watched them. We LOVE it, plus it ties in the two languages together very well. I had to work with her but I can ask her the sign in both languages and she knows. Thank you! wow, I love the story, I had no idea!
