ASL has immensely helped my son match letters to words while working through his dyslexia. Signing has also helped my daughter's speech delay as it taught her to correlate words with signs to get her point across. And, it's even helped me! After living in China for over 2 years with my family, I was able to apply American Sign Language and it made it that much easier as we learned Mandarin. Every child and adult has a different learning style and I've found that languages come much easier when we are able to associate kinesthetic attachment to words.

So, whether you want to communicate with your pre-verbal child, looking to clarify speech, starting to learn a 2nd language, wanting to help a senior citizen tell you what they need, or just want to have fun; The Signing Tree is a great way to start learning ASL vocabulary today!
