Baby Sign Language and First Language Acquisition... or is it Second Language Acquisition?

Sign Language?

You probably know about the Sign Language that deaf people and their families use but what about a 16-month-old baby who can use it and communicate? Is that this system is messing up with the natural process of Language Acquisition? Are these babies bilinguals?

Some Facts

The creator of this system is Rachel Coleman. She has developed a system which she thinks is incredible... take a look...

The system

Here you have some examples of the video that Mrs. Coleman has created. Take a look!

Her perspective

Of course we can hear Mrs. Coleman talking about it... and about FIRST LANGUAGE ACQUISITION! Very interesting! Quite long... but I think that it is totally worthy... Take a look!

I found it ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Nowadays, there are lots of people fighting for inclusive schools... Is it a great idea?
