Signing with Autumn really helped her to express herself. By using the signs for “more” and “eat” we were able to greatly reduce Autumn’s frustration in communicating what she wanted. She is 2 now and she speaks full sentences and people are amazed at how advanced her speech is. Not only is she continuing to sign, but she is also teaching her baby brother.
