What is American Sign Language?
ASL is a visual language
Studies show that children learn through what they SEE – HEAR – DO
The shape, placement, and movement of the hands, facial expressions and body movements,
all play important role in conveying information.
When you incorporate ASL into your infant/toddler program you are “unlocking the potential” in the whole child…..every child.
Key to success….Highlight the vocabulary you want childto know; if child wants some milk, say the word MILK ………..then ask the question ‘do you want some MILK?’ Make sign for ‘MILK’
