Do they learn speech:
faster- because after already communicating in sign language for some time, they have more confidence that they will be understood- as well- by learning sign language early, the neurons have made more connections which, in turn, enables them to learn at a faster rate?
or slower, because they rely on the sign language, instead of speech, because they know that the signs work and that it may be a control issue with some children over their parents (like, for instance, potty training can be a control issue).
Also, do you have personal experience with this? And what is the best way to assist in the crossover?
Thanks!
