One of my students(3 years old) isn’t deaf or mute, but, partly because she’s developmentally delayed and partly because she isn’t motivated to, doesn’t speak. Well, she does say about 6 words, and so far refuses to try others(much to the frustration of her speech patologist.) Anyway, she uses some signs at school and at home, and we’re trying to increase the number of signs she uses. We’ve added about a dozen in the last month, and she likes learning them, though her co-ordination makes her signs aproximations of what they should be. The problem I have is that the dictionaries we have aren’t really geared towards little kids, so there are lots signs she’d never use, and they also lack ones for words small children would want to use…
Can anyone recommend a site that’d have signs that’d be fun and useful for a small child to learn? Pretty much anything related to school, play and daily life. (and doesn’t focus on colors or animals. She has those down)
