The video I watched is title “Toddler Signing in ASL” and it’s about a mother who is constantly trying to teach her daughter how to sign in any situation. There were many, many words used to teach the toddler in different ways. The mother used many tools to teach her daughter such as letter magnets, books, physical objects, buildings, swinging set, smelling to identify things, TV, and computer programs. The toddler is almost 2 years old and it’s fascinating to see how much of vocabulary she displayed in the video. The communication was mainly between the toddler and her mother, sometimes her grandma as well.

Monta Briant starts by telling a story of how sign language helped her understand what was wrong with her ten-month-old daughter; she then goes on to say that baby sign language is defined as “using symbolic gestures to enhance your verbal interactions with your baby.” She tells how there are many resources available to parents online and in the library to be able to find the signs that your child may want to learn. We are then told by Ms. Briant that aggressive behavior is decreased by the use of signing in infants and

Carla A behavior intervention plan (BIP) is a plan that’s designed to teach reward positive behaviors. This can help prevent for stop problem behaviors in school. The BIP is based on the results of the FBA. The BIP describes the problem behavior, the reason the behavior occurs and the intervention strategies that will address the problem behavior. A BIP can help a child to learn problem solving skills and find better ways to respond in a situation.

A Developmental Language Delay (DLD) is a condition where children have difficulties understanding and/or using spoken language (Bishop et al. 2016) with concerns typically shown at 18 months which do not resolve by 5 years. On the other hand, a late-talker refers to a delay in language expression (Bernstein and Tigerman-Faber, 2002) which eventually catches up without interventions by 3-5 years (Rescorla, 2009). There are many differences between a DLD and being a late-talker. For example, receptive language (the ability to understand language) is intact in late-talkers as they can comprehend language but it is not intact in children with a DLD, a critical review found that low receptive language scores increased the risk of having persistent language difficulties (Law et al., 2000; Roulstone et al., 2003; and Thal et al., 1991).

3). The older a child gets, the more difficult it is for that child to acquire a first language as easily as in the earlier years of life. If a child is “linguistically deprived” (Humphries et al., 2014, p. 35), research has shown that greater problems will arise in the future with that child developing critical “mastery of numeracy and literacy […], and higher-order cognitive processing” (Humphries at al., 2014, p. 32). It is imperative that a Deaf child is diagnosed early on in life, and given full access to his or her natural language (sign language) as early as possible to make sure that he or she can have access to language and communication which

The first year of a child’s life is spent communicating entirely through nonverbal means. Infants use every part of their bodies to convey their wants and needs as their parents and early childhood educators respond to meet them. Examples of this are reflexes, such as opening their mouths when hungry. Also, crying and whole body movements to demonstrate feelings. Another way that is interesting in infant nonverbal communication is allowing infants to play with each other.

Children with CAS also have difficulty expressing themselves when anxious and struggle more with longer phrases than shorter ones. Other possible characteristics of CAS include groping behaviors, inappropriate prosody, word confusion, difficulty with word recall, fine motor coordination and movement difficulty, hypersensitive or hyposensitive mouths, and literacy issues.
