Just wanted to let you know what an inspiration your videos have been to my family. I have a 19 month old daughter (Madison) that was born completely deaf. She received a Cochlear implant at 13 months but her main form of communication is and will be sign. She also has some hand deformities that she’ll have to have surgery on as she gets older. We have been watching Signing Time since she was about 6 months old (thanks to her Speech therapist) and in the last few months she has picked up so much and actually does most of the signs. She absolutely loves watching the videos and doing the signs with you. When she gets upset about something we’ll ask her if she wants to wath Rachel (in sign of course)and she always calms down and gets so excited and shakes her head yes. Because of her hands we were concerned about her being able to learn signs but she has been truly remarkable. She does most of the baby signs and a lot of others. My husband and I are taking formal ASL classes and I have to tell you I have learned a lot myself from your videos. Thanks so much for all you do and please know you have made a positive impact on our little family. Also, Madison’s daycare has decided to have a sign class (baby signs) so that Madison will have friends to communicate with and they are using some of your materials. What a blessing this is! Again, thanks so much. Your efforts have made a huge impact on many people.

Hi Racheal, Me and my son both loved watching signing time when he was like 18 months up to about 28 months when they took it off the programming in Midland, Texas. If you could please call and urge them to please put it back on I would appreciate it we sure do miss it. And since we don’t have any dvd’s we haven’t learned any more signs from signing times but we do have a book called “Talk to the Deaf” by Lottie Riekehof that was lent to us before they took signing time of their programming on our PBS station. Some of the signs ikn there seem different than what we learned on signing time but some are similar but some are really different. It is confusing to learn it 2 different ways we can’t afford the dvd’s and our library does have some vidios but not of signing times but it is of the American Sign language. I have tried to find someone how could teach us but I can’t find anyone in Midland, Texas. I do know of one family who is deaf a friend of mine from hs/college and his parents were deaf so he knows sign language but I am not sure they still live here or not and have lost contact with him since college. But I will try to contact them but not sure they can teach at my son’s level and interest like signing time does. There should be more emphasis on sign language in school as a part of the elementary learning since it is so much easier to learn at that age then it is when you get older. Well, I will go for now. Thanks again Rachel, Alex. Leah and Lucy and of course Hopkins too.

We have a friend who’s son is profoundly deaf. So much so that he is not even a candidate at this time for a cochlear implant.
We decided that we needed to learn sign and teach it to our one year old. Our friend gave us the first Baby Signing Time video when our son was born. It is great and we learned sign really fast because of the music and the visuals.
For his birthday recently she gave him the second Baby Signing time video. It’s also, so very catchy, and easy to learn the signs. These are the only videos my son will watch in entirety.
Thank you so much for all you great work. Now I and my husband can talk to our little friend and our son will be able to as well, soon!

Rachel,

Thank you so much for the signing time videos. I always wanted my daughter to learn sign language but I couldn’t find any good one (other than the einstein one that has few signs) until I heard about signing times through amazon.com.
My daughter learned the signs so fast. She knows almost all the signs. Not only that, she can read them as well. Many were impressed. She started reading at 15 months and through your videos she picked up even more words. I speak with her in French and my husband speaks to her in English and she had learned so many words through signing times,it helped her speak more and I am very grateful to you for that.
I was wondering if you can get me in touch by email with anyone who is also speaking multiple languages with their child and is signing as well. Is that possible? I think Gisele????
Thank you so much.
Nisrine

I just wanted to say “Thank You,” for making “Baby Signing Time” and “Signing Time.” I just had a baby in July of 2008 who was diagnosed after birth with Down syndrome.I had heard of “Signing Time” before because I Home School .When I found out my baby girl had Down syndrome I knew right away I would be ordering your dvd’s.It’s so wonderful to know that she will always be able to communicate with me no matter what her level of speech ability may be.I have been very surprised at how fast my 3,5,7,and 9 yr. old children have picked up the signs!

“They RARELY do it on cue”

My daughter will only sign on cue and not to communicate!!!
Now my challenge is to get my daughter to sign to communicate-
She does like to show off the signs she knows- but has not put it together to sign if she is hungry for example.
She is a non verbal 2 year old (lost words she had around 15 months)
