He still doesn't grasp the full meaning of all the signs but he sure lights up to the Mommy and Daddy signs! I think he knows....now just to get him to sign back to me.
I will keep you posted on his progress...remember he is still only 5 1/2 months old and they usually don't start to sign untill they are about 6-8 months. |
I have a feeling that as time goes on, the ability to communicate before the ability to speak is fully developed, will reveal more about the human mind than we know at this time. For special needs children, their ability to communicate with other will raise their life chances significantly.
