Barb Asselin is a stay-at-home
Mom, college professor and writer.
When Barb and her
husband, Mike, decided to have children, they had
heard about teaching babies sign language in order
to alleviate the frustration that babies feel when
they are unable to communicate their needs.
Thinking that the idea made a lot of sense, Barb and
Mike researched and learned American Sign Language
to the extent that they were comfortable teaching it
to their children.
On May 15, 2002, their
first daughter, Casey, was born and the journey into
sign language began. Despite the fact that
their family and friends thought they were "out
there", Barb and Mike continued to teach Casey
different signs that represented the important
aspects of her life.
They were rewarded for
their hard work when Casey was 6 months old and made
her first sign, "milk". All of a sudden, there
was no guessing involved - and no crying! When
Casey wanted milk, she simply signed "milk".
More signs followed.
By the time Casey was
talking, she had a vocabulary of 80 words - 40 signs
and 40 spoken words. It was incredible!
Barb and Mike were so
inspired and impressed by Casey's adaptability to
American Sign Language, they did the same thing with
their second daughter, Jamie.
Barb started this
website in order to help other parents make the
journey from frustration to communication with their
babies, infants and toddlers.
American Sign
Language certainly allowed her to enjoy every minute
of raising her children - you can too.
