Signing Time Full Collection

Product Review (submitted on March 25, 2010):

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!
