Signing Time Full Collection

I grew up with a special needs sister, who was a micro-preemie and had special needs do to that. My younger brother was also born with a severe hearing loss. (Completely deaf in one ear, a moderate-severe loss in the other.) We signed with him, but as a child I never learned as much as I could have/should have. There just wasn't much out there as far as products. My family did the best we could- with the resources that were out there, but we had NOTHING like Signing Time. Now, as an adult, I have five children- and a few of them are special needs. I have tried teaching ASL to my children so they could better communicate both with their uncle, and to help with their own communication challenges. My children have picked up some from my instruction, but it's at times been daunting and frustrating. From the moment we received the Signing Time Collection in the mail, my children have been watching and begging to watch the DVD's. They've also picked up on so many more signs than they ever did with their prior instruction. I am absolutely amazed and delighted. This is likely the BEST investment we have made in recent years. I know it's pricey, but I would HIGHLY recommend this product! It's entertaining and educational. (And like others have said- my husband and I even love to watch the videos with the children.) We love Rachel, Leah, Alex, and yes, even Hopkins! Thank you for putting out a product that has reached so far into the lives of so many!

These are way too expensive. How would anyone know if these are good? Who can afford to buy them?

My baby loves BST the best, she's been watching since she was 7 mths. She first signed to me at 9 months and now at 11 months she can sign over 20 signs and have a good vocab of at least 15 words! When my baby wants to watch it, she will "sign baby" and say "baby baby..." I LOVE it too!! Great bonding time for us. We love all the songs and Rachel!

I think that this is a very great product. As a single mom I want to give my children the world and I find that more difficult than the average two parent family might. I would love to buy the whole set for my children but it is way out of our budget. If it werent for the library I would not be able to expose my babies to the opportunity of sign language. I just hate that I have to wait my turn. These DVDs are very popular and hard to get ahold of!

This product has been a fun way to learn sign language for both my 11 month old daughter, the 1 1/2 yr old boy I nanny for and my friends kids... it has been very easy for me to learn too. The songs stick in your head and I wake up singing them or sing them to the kids throughout the day. Sadly, the price is way too EXPENSIVE. I would love to purchase the next collection but I can't afford to... Especially in this market and in this economy. If they lower the price I'm sure more people would purchase this product.

I loved to watch these. My son likes to learn and has had so much fun learning signing. Although I am concerned that the price is a little high. Especially for some families with very tight budgets that are trying to get these.

We have five children under 10 years old who are each learning different things from each of your videos. It is a blast watching to see who learns and remembers what. Since signing is new to our family we are pleasantly surprised each time one of our children signs something. People around us watch in amazement. Thank you for putting so many talents (signing, smiles, singing, lyrics, videos, etc) together to make such a fantastic tool.

I just love the whole program....but the price is very steep. We have to thank gradmas for helping us get them.

We have fully enjoyed signing time. Our 3 year old is learning it so fast and we are hoping our 23 mth old will catch up soon. (She has Cerebral Palsey and is delayed.) Keep up the good work of helping families communicate. I just wish your products were more affordable for famlies with special needs kiddos.
