Not Hearing Impaired But Speech Delayed
My son who's 2 1/2 has been declared developmentally disabled, due to severe speech delay. He doesn't put 2-3 words together yet, and he has a vocabulary of about 10 words at most. He does show extreme frustration with his inability to speech or communicate, and becomes a danger to himself and others physically. We have seeked helped and he his currently enrolled in classes and speech therapy. At first the therapist was going to introduce basic signs to get him started, that was a month ago. Now they want to make sign a formal way of communication for him. Ok, fine. But when they sent the papers home for me to learn the monthy sign words to help enforce them constantly in his daily use, I was floored at how hard they are to learn!! I'm having a hard time understanding from the book how to sign, is there a video out? I've contacted the college's for taking a course but nothing is available till june, I need help now...Any suggestions?
