My Baby Can Talk - First Signs is designed to be baby's first introduction to preverbal communication and teaches American Sign Language in a format that delights the senses while tapping into a baby's innate language capabilities. Created to encourage interaction and set to classical music, My Baby Can Talk - First Signs takes babies and their parents on an inspiring discovery of the first words and signs that are most loved by babies - including eat, drink, milk, more, book, go and favorite animals to delight babies and inspire them to begin to sign!

Honored more than twenty prestigious parenting awards and reviewed and endorsed by child psychologists, professionals in the media as well as early childhood educators; the My Baby Can Talk series inspires preverbal communication as well as first spoken words and is the first program featuring preverbal babies signing. Research has shown that babies who use sign language tend to speak sooner with larger vocabularies, show an increase in IQ scores and engage in more sophisticated play.


The My Baby Can Talk series is specifically developed to respect the developmental stage, attention span and intellect of hearing babies from 10 to 36 months. This program includes a Parent Tutorial and a printed Quick Reference Signing Card.


MyBabyCanTalk.com is the premier resource center on the Internet for babies and signing featuring detailed tutorials, background research, and a video dictionary with more than 200 ASL signs that are most important to and appropriate for babies and toddlers.

  • Wow, that's pretty impressive. However, wouldn't this be more suited towards toddlers instead of babies? I would fear that my little baby would learn sign language instead of speaking verbally.

  • Two researchers at the University of CA, with funding from the National Institutes of Health, conducted a study that involved 103 eleven month old babies. What these researchers found was amazing, babies that communicated with sign language before they could speak actually learned to talk sooner and scored higher on intelligence tests when compared to their non-signing peers. These babies developed larger vocabularies, displayed more self-confidence and engaged in more sophisticated play.

  • this is cute

  • I would like to know if you have a website.

  • The areas in the brain that deal with hand-signs are next to the areas in the brain that deal with speech. Stimulating one stimulates the other. In addition, having multiple pieces of information to work with supports speech development rather than damaging it.

  • my 3 almost 4 year old daughter has Verbal Aperixia and could not talk till she went to school and then she was talking better she was in sppech therpy at home 2 times a week but at school she gets it almost 5 times a week.

    I have a 3 month old baby now and am afraid that she will also have it so I am going to teach her sign language to help her be able to talk with out getting frustrated. I will also talk to her like any other child too.

  • My one year old absolutely loves this video!

  • We watch several sign language videos, but this is my son's favorite. He learned the sign from it very easily.

  • Nice Video

    Please take more

    very enjoyable for little kids

    keep the good work

  • My sister is an interpreter and my niece was signing and communicating long before she talked. It was quite astounding.

  • all three of my babies have signed, I wouldn't have it any other way! My first didn't start learning until 8 months..she signed at 10 months. My second started signing at 6 months after being shown from birth...as did my third!
