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

However, due to the lack of common diagnostic symptomology and criteria these characteristics are not agreed upon by all practitioners. As such, not all children with CAS present with the same, or even similar, characteristics. This is why evaluation by a speech-language pathologist is essential in the diagnosis of CAS. CAS impacts development of linguistic and higher phonological processing as compared to Apraxia of Speech in adults (Maassen, 2002). Very young children suspected of having CAS do not babble or coo when they are infants (Davis & Velleman, 2000).

Although all children have difficulty with phonotactic speech errors, consonant harmony, and final consonant deletion in the first 12–18 months of life, these issues persist past the age of 3 in children with CAS (ASHA, n.d.). Older children with CAS make inconsistent sound errors that are not due to immaturity. It is common for children with CAS to display vowel distortions, initial consonant deletions, consonant substitutions, and schwa additions to consonant clusters. Their expressive language skills are significantly poorer than their receptive language skills. They also have difficulty imitating speech and may appear to have difficulty with motor coordination when formulating sounds.

Observational learning occurs when we observe the actions of another and note the consequences of that person’s actions, then decide whether to imitate them or not. In other words, modelling is any process in which information is imparted by example, before direct practice is allowed (rosenthal & Steffek, 1991). It has been found that children as young as 21 days old have been shown to imitate facial expressions and mouth movements. For observational learning to occur, several factors must be involved.

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

Language skills and the development of them are essential to children from birth to late adolescents. However while the agreeance on the development of such skills are important, there are theories that attempt to understand just how we develop language skills. Both the behaviour theory and the cognitivist theory believe to have the knowledge on how humans develop language, however the behaviour theory focuses more about language being a learnt behaviour while the cognitivist theory proposes that humans were born with the knowledge already. From birth to eighteen months babies are remarkably impressionable; does this characteristic support B.F Skinner’s behaviour theory? From birth to six months, babies begin to vocalize and also start to respond to things such as their own name, human voices without needing visual cues.

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.
