Key word signing is also known as baby sign language. It is the use of signs to support communication with pre- and non-verbal children. Key word signing is a wonderful tool for families and carers and educators to empower children to communicate while their speech is still developing. There are so many benefits!
Check out the Baby Sign Blog for lots of info on Baby Sign Language!
Key word signing (also known as baby sign or baby sign language) is a wonderful tool for parents and educators alike. It has many benefits including: earlier and clearer communication, it promotes a positive feedback loop which supports language development, and better language leads to better behaviour, social emotional skills and literacy!
Hi, I'm Meg - I'm an Early Childhood Intervention teacher who is determined to help as many families as possible discover the amazing benefits of key word signing (baby sign language).
I'm lucky enough to have helped hundreds of children and families learn sign language over the years. Children of all abilities and ages. When I started Baby Sign in 2022, I realised that I wanted to focus my energy on early intervention with young children. The first 3 years of a child's life are critical for all areas of development, but particularly language and communication. If we can get in super early, we can give little people the tools to thrive and flourish, no matter their abilities (or diagnosis!).
Your baby will always be your baby. Don't let the business name fool you, at Baby Sign, we work with your baby right up until school age to achieve excellent language and communication outcomes - which translate into better literacy and school outcomes!
Join Meg each week for your dose of baby sign language! What's included?
* New signs each week
* Songs, games, activities
* Sensory activities
* Friendly support group
* The mother's group you've been looking for!
Term 1 2025 will be held at Nino ELA Bundoora.
Baby Sign offers holistic early childhood intervention for young children with significant speech and language delays, providing key word signing training for the whole family to allow children to communicate and connect with their loved ones.
We understand that a child is not defined by a diagnosis and want to work with families that have high expectations of their children and strive for the absolute best. We do not put ceilings on what a child may achieve and believe that by holding children to high expectations they are more likely to excel.
Key word signing is life changing skill that not only allows a child to communicate while they continue to develop speech, but is also known to help towards better language.
