Studies have shown that signing with children and infants results in:

• increased IQs
• earlier speech and larger vocabulary
• improved reading skills
• improved motor skills
• decreased frustration and tantrums

Signing allows your infant to communicate very specific thoughts before they have the vocabulary to verbally communicate. It bridges the gap between when they understand language and when the have the motor skills to verbally communicate.

Signing will not delay verbal development as some people worry; studies have shown if anything it actually accelerates it. Research shows that babies that sign usually speak sooner and have larger vocabularies than non-signing babies.
