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!

The Mum Behind Baby Sign…

Hi, I’m Meg, 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!).
