A sign language (also signed language) is a language which uses manual communication, body language and lip patterns instead of sound to convey meaning—simultaneously combining hand shapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to express fluidly a speaker's thoughts. more at Wikipedia

one of the biggest helps we have bailey is none verble and he now no's over 50 signs
The only one in my family that uses signing on a daily basis. (Then again, my whole family's hearing)
We only sign simple commands -- he uses his words as we do too. Signing is visual and easier for him to process vs. language.

His speech therapist has worked with him on sign language as a means to communicate. This has not worked out well. He only has one sign he does on a regular basis, and it was one of his own creation. He will touch his bottom teeth with his finger if he is hungry or thirsty.

It is working wonderfully with my non-verbal son. He finger spells to me what he wants. it's making us able to communicate. I couldn't be happier.
The speech therapist helps alot with this, he signs the word "more" and "play" so far.
love it!!
