Signing Time with Spanish Leads to Communication Breakthrough

By Jennifer Thorsen, SLP – winner of our Facebook Success Story Contest As a speech-language pathologist, I am no stranger to signing. I use signs as part of a total communication approach with my clients in early intervention, to facilitate communication with my own children, and with my elementary-age students who have limited verbal communication skills. However, I’ve never had a student quite like Yadi. Yadi’s ability to express herself verbally is extremely limited, and she mainly uses signs and gestures to communicate her wants and needs along with a communication device. She is also bilingual, which posed another challenge …

Firefighter uses sign language on the job – thanks to Signing Time!

When Sara Nelson Cosmi made this post on our Facebook page, she grabbed our attention! I just wanted to share a quick story. My husband is a firefighter/EMT and went on a call last night to a house with hearing impaired patients. He was able to communicate with them, asking them “where does it hurt” and spelling out simple words all from watching Baby Signing Time with our daughter. It’s really neat to know that not only is Signing Time teaching our children but we gain from it as well. It encourages us to keep learning ASL and hopefully our …

Such an Important Part of Our Lives

This blog post is by Mary Cook from Charlotte, NC, and is part of our Making a Difference series. I can’t imagine life without Baby Signing Time, and now Signing Time, for my daughter, Alaina, who is nineteen months. It is such an important part of our lives together and I can’t think of a single facet of her life that does not involve signing. Before Alaina was born I didn’t know any sign language with the exception of a few letters I learned as a child. I thought it was fascinating to watch babies sign and knew this was …

“Me, too!” A Making a Difference story

This post is by Joanna Smith of Surprise, AZ and is part of our Making a Difference series. My family and I went to a Harlem Globetrotters game the other weekend in Phoenix.  At the end of the game we went down to meet the players.  I saw a mom and her approx. 8 year old boy signing to each other (way faster than I could even understand).  It appeared that they were both deaf.  I pointed them out to my 12 year old daughter (who learned to sign from Signing Time over the past four years).   I told her …

Inspiring stories from parents of children with Down syndrome

Earlier this month, we introduced the new Down Syndrome Daily Support Bundle and shared our new 10-page guide “Using Signing Time with Children who have Down Syndrome” (click on Details tab to download).  Since that time, we’ve been receiving emails from parents of children with Down syndrome who have told us about the impact Signing Time has had on their child’s life. We felt so inspired by these moms’ stories that we just had to share them with you, with their permission, of course! 🙂 We hope these heartwarming stories bring a smile to your faces, just as it did to ours. …

Why Signing Time Fans Rock!

So I was sitting in my office today reviewing reports, web pages, marketing and needed a quick break from the hum-drum of work and took a moment to read through our testimonials page on our website. It’s been broken for the last couple of weeks and we finally got it back up and running earlier this week. I’m glad it’s back because I was reminded that our customers and fans are awesome! I can honestly say that on a frequent basis your letters, your emails and your testimonials bring me to tears! No joke. (maybe it’s because I have 4 …

Making it Happen: A Signing Time Concert in My Town

Have you ever wished Rachel Coleman would come perform in your town? I certainly did. I remember reading the newsletters and blog posts about fantastic Signing Time events in many different places, and wondering when it would be it would be our turn. Well, as I later found out, those events are hosted by organizations, schools, libraries, or individuals in that area who partner with the Signing Time Foundation and simply pay the expense of bringing Rachel (or the whole Signing Time group) to perform or speak. I decided that we needed a Signing Time “Sing and Sign” concert in …

Testimonial: We Are a Signing Time Family!

Hello!  We are a Signing Time Family!  I want to thank you for creating Signing Time.   The bond we have developed with our daughter Cambrelyn is amazing. At the end of October, she will turn two, and she will be receiving more Signing Time DVDs! I was diagnosed with Acute Mylogenous Leukemia (a horrible blood cancer) when Cambrelyn was 9 months old.  Between August 2008 and March 2009 I was either in the hospital or at home in bed. Watching Signing Time was just about the only thing I had the strength do to with her. Family members did everything …
