ASL Phonetics Can Do For Deaf Babies

VIDEO [ASL] - Look what American Sign Language phonetics can do for Deaf Babies!



Deaf aunt made a video focusing on ASL phonetics for Deaf toddlers using pictures from Dr. Seuss's Hop on Pop book. She used rhymes and rhythms in all of her sentences by repeating specific handshapes, movements, locations, palm orientations, and non-manual signals.





Deaf-centric materials and videos such as nursery rhymes, ASL phonetics, and language play are lacking for Deaf babies aged between 0 and 5 years old.



Look at how enthralled her 3-month-old Deaf nephew is by watching her play with ASL phonetics (handshape, movement, location, palm orientation, and non-manual signals) in the video. She believe this is the answer.
