| The BABY TALK system is truly a unique and innovative product.
Babytalking is the process of teaching pre-verbal infants
how to communicate using a modified sign language.
If you have ever been a parent, it will be obvious to you that your child
understands words long before they can speak them. As a child approaches
speaking age, we assume that a child doesn't speak to us because they simply
don't know the words. But, they do in fact, understand many simple words
and concepts. It is not a child's language skills that stop them from speaking.
It is purely an immaturity of the speech mechanism - starting at the brain,
and ending with dexterity of the lips, jaw and tongue. Some child psychologists
believe that much of the frustration that toddlers exhibit (usually by way
of tantrums), is due to their inability to express their needs. They can
understand us with increasing ease, but until they develop the powers of
speech, our understanding of their needs is limited to interpretation of
a few simple gestures.
Imagine if your 18 month old, could not only express unhappiness, but could
communicate to you that the unhappiness was due to "pain" and that the pain
was in the tummy region!
This is where BABY TALK steps in. This is a very simple
system of teaching toddlers some very basic methods
of signing, so that they can express themselves before
they develop the power of speech. It is believed that
teaching toddlers to sign not only reduces their frustration,
but also improves their language, and ultimately hastens
their use of speech.
