SV: popularity of baby signs in other countries?

[Kristina Hansson]

Just an addition regarding the interest in Sweden:

the interests in baby signing seems to be increasing, and maybe in contrast to other countries it has been intitated by people who work with AAC. There are courses for parents in some places and recently a Swedish book on babysigning was published.

Best regards

Dear Ruth,
Baby singing certainly does exist in Poland, although I cannot assess
how popular it is.
I know that Danuta Mikulska (danuta at klubkoko.pl) has done a PhD on
this topic at the University of Warsaw.
There is a webpage for parents popularizing baby signing:
http://www.bobomigi.com.pl/ (in Polish).
I am sure you can get more informations directly from Danuta Mikulska.
I was not able to locate any papers of her in English in the web, but
I know that her PhD thesis included a study of about 100 Polish
infants signing with their mothers.
Regards,
Ewa Haman
