Using Sign Language to Enhance Learning

By / 1 minute of reading

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Updated November 1, 2019 I am absolutely passionate about American Sign Language and the benefits it can have with all children. This is why I am an instructor in the Signing Time Academy; it’s why I teach my own children; it’s why I work with the Signing Time Foundation; and it’s why I continue to dig deeper and deeper into the language through friendships, conferences, and immersion workshops. On October 29th, at 8:00 PM Central Daylight Time, I got to share part of my excitement about the benefits of American Sign Language in a Facebook Live talk. The event was an …

That Moment – Celebrating 10 Years of the Academy

By / 4 minutes of reading

by Carissa Martos, Master Signing Time Academy Instructor, Teacher of the Deaf and Interpreter The smallest of things can change your life. In 2009, a friend sent me a single Signing Time DVD, for my then one-year-old son. He’d had two neurosurgeries and the prognosis surrounding speech wasn’t good.

As we moved into our new home, I popped the DVD into the TV upstairs, closed the baby gate, and started hauling in furniture. Later …

Down I went into the rabbit-hole and quickly discovered that parenting advice is incredibly detailed and varied. However, one piece of advice that remained constant was the need for communication. A child’s desire to be understood is tremendous, almost as important as his/her desire to be loved. Being able to express basic needs, wants, and emotions is so difficult for a non-verbal, and …
