Signing ASL with toddlers
The second-year online documentary "Toddler Talk in ASL" follows a toddler's language acquisition and literacy development in ASL (American Sign Language) on a weekly basis from age one to two.
The child has been exposed to the signed language (ASL) as a first language from birth in a natural, native-ASL environment and visual culture.
Watch the process of language development in ASL and the transition from the one-word stage to the mulit-word stage.
Observe how the toddler acquires pronominal references in ASL. Take an opportunity to look into the child's window of mind how she perceives the world.
