I agree.. I run a home daycare and one of the boy's is a preemie and knows some signs that his speech therapist taught him and he slowly began to use those signs to understand how to verbally speak them vocally. I need to learn it for my other kids I care for.. certainly can't hurt anything from my experience of watching it done.
Big supporter of sign language for babies! We used Rachel's Signing Time videos, and not only did the signs help when they were little, but I would swear that's how they learned their colors!
