Sign Language
Signing Times DVDs are a wonderful way to introduce the entire family to sign language. They are fun and include great songs to practice your signing. Since speech is typically delayed in children with Ds, it is great to give them another way to communicate until their speech is stronger. http://www.signingtime.com/
