Signing Time is a long-running video series hosted by Rachel Coleman, using songs, animation, and real children to teach American Sign Language vocabulary to babies and young kids. The Baby Signing Time volumes (for ages 3 months-3 years) focus on everyday needs like “milk,” “more,” and “all done,” helping preverbal babies and toddlers communicate before they can talk, while the broader Signing Time series extends into topics like emotions, family, and community for slightly older children.
The series is widely used by both hearing families and families raising children with communication delays, including kids with Down syndrome or autism, and is often recommended by speech therapists. It’s available on DVD or digital download, either as individual volumes or full collection bundles, with no subscription required.
