The Signing time series teaches young children and babies the American Sign Language (ASL).  While sign language was traditionally used by people with speech and hearing disability, there is a growing community who use it for children who have difficulty communicating verbally. This includes children with autism, babies and toddlers who could not speak and even children with more serious disability.  Some even claim that teaching signing to babies will lead to earlier reading and boost IQ. 

Even without these intrinsic benefits, this DVD series is easily one of the best production of children's educational DVDs for young children.
