#asl #learnasl #learnhowtosign
Years ago we taught asl to our toddlers. The one sign that they used most was "more", which they and we used frequently during meals. "Yes" and "no" were also used frequently. They weren't old enough to speak, but they could communicate with these signs.
My son is nonverbal but uses just a few signs. “More” is the one we get most of all too. Mostly at bedtime when we are reading books😂
I work at a daycare with 1 year olds and I am teaching them some signs. It is so adorable how the toddlers I work with make their own signs, and it amazes me how quickly they learn. One toddler in particular can sign "more bubbles please" he says the word bubbles but, more and please he signs
Watching with my 3 year old daughter. She has CP and is non verbal. Thank you so much for these videos. They have opened up her world! PTL!!
Thank you for these wonderful videos. I’m still teaching my grandnephew ASL since he was a baby. He will be 2 in less than a month and he’s doing great. He knows most of these already but i still reinforce the learning. He loves to sign animals. I bought him a DVD of ASL animal songs and I saved a bat from being hit by a car and he was signing bat. That was months ago and he still signs it when we walk by the spot I rescued it. (I didn’t touch it I scooped it into an empty snack box and brought it to a licensed rehabilitator) He was so freaking cute. I wanted to cuddle. Anyway thank you again. ✌🏻❤️🙂🙏
So glad he is still using it.
Hello could you share what the DVD was. My child is nonverbal and all he cares about is animals. So we want to peak his interest with that. Thank you!
@@Katy_living_simply We Sign Animals it’s all songs so you can sing along. I bought this one from the library. It’s a lot of fun.
We Sign has more than a dozen videos.
@@maryoneill5070 thank you so much!!!
Meredith, I’m very glad that you gave your signers a 20 ASL signs for toddlers. It’s very good things to make their toddlers more understand in sign language when parents are communicating with their little kids. Marvelous work, Meredith! 😊
Thank you!!!!
@@LearnHowtoSign You are very welcome! 😊
This is such a good video Meredith!
I’m a CYPA (Child & Youth Program Assistant) for the Army & teaching these signs to the toddlers that don’t speak verbally just yet is really helpful! I’ve noticed a few of the kiddos in my classroom already picking up a couple signs! 😄
Thank you for doing this!!! I am homeschooling my three children and my youngest is special needs and primarily non verbal. The School wasn't teaching her sign (she is 10), so we have a lot of catching up to do. We learned some at home before homeschooling, but now we have time to learn so much more. I love your videos. they are great.
I just started going thru a few of your videos, just trying to learn a little sign language. I am 75 years old. I have interested in learning for a while now. Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for your signs. I learn a lot here. I’m a Nurse and I use sign language to assist deaf people access healthcare services. Im hoping that in the future, we will have more healthcare professionals will be interested in learning sign language
Oh this is wonderful! Thank you for all you do and going above and beyond thinking of others.
STOP TEACHING SIGN LANGUAGE. CUED SPEECH IS THE BEST CHOICE INSTEAD!
Thank you...thank you...thank you! As always, easy to understand AND evenly paced with a few repetitions. NOT everyone does that, many rush and do 1 or 2 quick explanations while showing how to actually sign and then move on. Even in your non toddler or alphabet or number videos, the repetition and pacing is perfect. I wasn't born deaf I was MADE partially deaf in both ears through violence. So I've always been part of the community but now I've decided to learn ASL for other medical reasoning that I'll need later. I sex on the other day and thought about it, and I realized more than half my life has been spent WITHOUT full my hearing. I'm a soft lip reader that I don't tell people about that because then they speak louder and extend their mouths and facial gestures which is ridiculousness and inaccurate for me to understand them. I've tried several times with ASL and just couldn't get the hang of it but now I really need to do it. You're one of the few people I found on UA-cam that's been able to explain things clearly. Thank you so much. 😉❤️😎 #NYGenBikerLady
Thank you!!!
I am a day School teacher working with two year olds. One of my little ones has a problem speaking. We recently started working with signs with his speech. It has helped so much!
- Thanks You Ms.Meredith !
- I Love You So Much !!!!
Hi Meredith! My sister is a toddler and I'd LOVE teaching her how to sign! This is so useful! You are SUCH a great teacher! thanks so much for this video.
I love that you are teaching your sister. 💞
I just got a new job as a preschool teacher and I'd love to incorporate signs into the classroom as often as possible! I'm hoping it'll help kids who aren't speaking yet to communicate without spoken words, and so they'll have a better appreciation for multiple means of communication ❤️
My son is 3.5 and we’re having some speech concerns. He’s beginning to see a speech therapist through our school district. You can only understand about 15% of his speech. I understand and can piece things together because I’m always with him but others don’t understand at all. I’m beginning to learn sign language because it’s heartbreaking not to be able to understand him and he’s so enthusiastic. My older son is also on an IEP for speech and becomes very agitated when I can’t understand him and shuts down. I’m really hoping he wants and is interested in learning sign language. It’ll make it so much more pleasant if it’s not forced. I’m overwhelmed and hopeful at the same time. I wish I had started sooner but it’s never too late.
This is amazing. Thank you. I have already started trying it out.
Watching for my nephew! Thank you for doing these!
This was very helpful thank you ❤
Awesome video. Thanks
I’m a toddler teacher and mom of a 3 year old. I’ve been teaching my son signs since he was a baby.
I have a HoH toddler in my class now and I’ve been trying to teach my whole class some signs to help communicate with her. She doesn’t know much yet, and I’m not sure what she’s been taught yet but we have been learning basic words based on the flash cards we use at circle time, as well as basic phrases like lie “diaper change,””go play,” “good job,” “thank you,” etc.
Thanks so much 💙 This helps me to communicate with my Lil Niece.
Thank you so much im looking for me and my nephew
Watching to teach infants. Thank you.
ASL is a beautiful language. I'm teaching my grandsons & want to interpret in church.
Thank you for today's video! 😁👍🏾
You are welcome!
Thank you I love Play and Baby lolll 💕
Could you do a video about common types of backyard bugs? Like ant, ladybug, caterpillar, etc.
Thank you! watching to teach my dog more words
Love this channel!👍👍
Thank you!
Thanks ❤❤❤
My youngest son is 5 . He has autism & he’s nonverbal. This is perfect 🤩
Been watching all ur videos. My son is 1 and loves it. I just think its something that shld be taught. I mean why not. It's another form of communication and he is obsessed with hands.
I'm a daycare teacher- I already had an interest in ASL and I want to help my kids communicate- None of them have any hearing or speech impairments (that we know of at least) but ASL is helpful no matter if they do or not honestly; And it's something that can help the kids when they're feeling a lot of things they can't communicate to make it easier to do (Speaking from experience)
I'm not someone who NEEDS to learn sign language, but back in high school, i tried to learn and failed as the course was not really the greatest one to learn from. Ever since then, i've been determined to sign and sign fluently, as i love learning new languages, so having someone tell me what different hand movements means is amazing!
My toddler is now 4 & talking fluently... I'm still using & learning new signs so I can keep teaching her hoping she'll b bilingual. She's not very interested in it very much anymore but I'm also now working with my nephew. He's 3 & only has a dozen or so words that r understandable. She's showed lots of interest in wanting 2 teach him.
Thank you for your report.
eh?
I'm watching for my new kitten who is deaf! She's very smart, I know she will get it quick. :)
I am a PreK teacher and I teach 3-4 year olds who are developmentally delayed and some are non verbal.

I am going to be the 12-year-old older sister and this will be my parents second child they decided to nominate me to edit because I’m a dancer and used to learning steps quickly so I will be teaching them after and I found this really helpful thanks
I’m going to be working at the daycare my cousin owns and I think they use baby/toddles sign language and I think it would also just be useful to know (plus I’ve been wanting to learn asl for years now (I only know very minimal asl))
Helping my 3 year old niece. Her momma passed away recently of kidney failure.
I'm learning these so I can communicate while I'm nonverbal!!!
My grandnephew is autistic and uses sign language. I want to get to know him better so I am learning this. i will see him in a month and want to surprise him and his parents.
Pregnant and trying to get informwd to do this with my baby :)
I watch your videos and practice, then in the night I choose one sign to teach my four-year-old.
So we are both sign toddlers 😅
What social venues are there to practice sign language? For example I found one meetup that’s fits with my schedule. Are there any other venues to practice with others?
Learning for my 15 year old who has auditory processing disorder and no true language. I know he understands signs. Wish I could find an ASL community here.
STOP TEACHING SIGN LANGUAGE. CUED SPEECH IS THE BEST CHOICE INSTEAD!
Teaching a toddler, as in 10-months, some signs makes life so much easier! It also makes them happy to get what they want when they can’t verbalize it.

My great grandson
Watching for my daughter with Down Syndrome ❤
Meredith, Does the shirt In a World Where You Can Be Anything, Be Kind come in black for adults? I didn't see it on the site. Also, my friend's last name is Brown. Does she fingerspell it because it is her name? Would she be correct if she made the sign BROWN instead of fingerspelling it?
Finger spell since its a name i think
Would you be open to making a video about childcare ASL? Like for daycares, preschools, kindergarten
Watching for my 15 month. Old grandson. I started showing whims some signs before he started speaking. We tries to speak and he signs to confirm what he needs or wants
My 15 month old is speech delayed so wanting to learn more signs besides all done and more and up to teach her.
I’m watching for myself, I hope toddler sign is put together really simple and easy to learn for basic communication, I have bad word recall skills when stressed and I have a very quiet voice so I am hoping for more skills to communicate in loud environments. I am an adult
Thanks for your videos. Small request. Can you put the sign name right below the number? Thank You.
I am learning for my nonverbal students.
I’m watching for my grandson
My son is 5 and nonverbal. He’s shown great promise communicating with the signs but he’s also got developmental delays and isn’t terribly dexterous. I tried teaching him water but mom is pretty close to that, but with different fingers touching the face. Do you happen to have any advice or alternatives? He loves to swim and play in water so I wanted to give him a way to ask for it. Thank you so much!
I'm learning signs for my dogs :)
me too!!
I would love to learn the sign for hurting. I have a 5 year old non verbal grandson that crying sometime for seemingly no reason. I just want to make sure he's not hurt.
I'm a nanny to a toddler, I'm trying to teach him to talk as well as some sign language
I want to learn for my grandson
My 2year Judah
I am an ASL toddler! Lol
Lol!!!!
I'm learning to speak sign language for my niece she was born deaf, she attends the beautiful school and St Augustine Florida for the deaf and blind students were Ray Charles attended she's doing so well and I would just love to be able to speak to her. I know a little bit of words not too much I know some of the alphabet. We had a party recently and I was able to take what I learned from these videos plus what I already know and was able to speak to her though I do have a little bit of trouble with following back. They have to sign really slow cuz I can't pay attention that fast especially when they spell something I'm trying to figure out wait a minute that letter is what you're calling me what no she wouldn't do that she's a sweetheart beautiful little girl and I hope I can learn as much as I can so that I can sit down across the table from her when she becomes a full grown adult and I will be able to carry on a conversation with her so I hope that these videos will teach me to do that. And that would be a surprise because only few know how to do it and she doesn't know I'm learning or trying to learn
Watching for my son who is nonverbal autistic (3)
I'm here for my almost 2 year old. We thought he was behind so we set him up in speech and then he decided to start talking. He's also signing and I'm trying to keep working with I'm on it. Actually came to check on snack and he has the right hand position but he's forgetting the bring it to his mouth part. But that's ok I know what he's saying.
I have a 3 year old grandson that has been deaf since birth

For take a bath, the color combination of your shirt/the background made it hard to see what you were doing being visually impaired.

How sad that you advertised the camp for parents who are being driven nuts by their kids being home for a few weeks... I homeschool my children and am always with them. When I become annoyed it is because of my own sin that needs repenting of.
Being annoyed isn’t a sin
I know that you think you are providing a service, but it is very insulting to the Deaf community for a hearing person to teach their language. If you go to their sites, they are stepping up and saying that hearing people should not be doing this, you’re hearing you can never understand the Deaf world😢
What exactly is the harm of teaching a language that helps parents better communicate with their young children?
@@jellybeanyzz I’ve been in the Deaf community since 9. I’m 50 now. Go ask a hearing teacher who is teaching rules and adequate of the Deaf community why the Deaf teach it. I’m not being snotty, just educational.

I'm a toddler teacher for special needs kids and none of them can speak very well or are non verbal, so im trying to learn some basic ASL to give them another form of communication. 3 of them are super good at using "more" "please" and "sorry" along with their way of verbally saying the word
