Baby Babble videos?

[Isa Barriere]

There is an interesting review of BabySign in a 2006 volume of First
Language- I actually use it in my reserach methods (to SLP) class- as the
principles that should be (but as the article demonstrates are not) applied
are the same as intervention research.

Cheers,
Isabelle
