Hi!  Our twins also have speech delays.  They will be two next month.  We work with Early Childhood Intervention.  We are teaching them along witht the speech therapist.  No particular book or anything.  We are just doing the basics as well.  Help, thank you, more, please, love you, cup, drink, food, plate, no, yes, stop....

It helps so much in understanding the wants and needs of our children.  It is difficult with one, but having two the same age, going through the same things at the same exact time is really hard!!!  Having this tool is so useful and helps so much.  I strongly encourage using signing as often as possibe to help interact and understand your children.  Great job ditarae and st1pht!

Blessings!!!!

Thanks for your feedback!  I think I will pick up a book at least that shows me the signs at the library to help me get started, since we aren't working with anyone and I only know about 5 signs.  I am so excited, my daughter just started signing "more"!  She sometimes will make the sign for "eat" but only when she is eating, (with cheerio in hand) not to tell me she wants to eat.  Anyway, we are getting there and I am enjoying watching her learn! 

Thanks again!
