[quote=Anonymous]My 5yo son is HFA, very verbal, but still loves to sign. He signs and speaks simultaneously quite a bit of the time. We LOVE the Signing Time DVDs. They are available on Amazon Prime for 1.99/episode for a week. I don't think it would be harmful. Especially if you just try one. The signs are set to music and are pretty conversational, so very appropriate. My son loves animals so we just got the Zoo Train one this week and he's been having great fun with it. He sees the animal in a book, sees the spelling and then signs the animal. I'm not a SLP, I don't know what the risk is of adding another method of communication to his learning, but they really are cute and the music is fun. He uses it to communicate with his nonverbal classmates that know some ASL. His teachers love it. [/quote]
