BST Instructor Karen Gutrath Reflects on Her First Year

By / 8 minutes of reading

Annual Report 2011 – My First Year in Review by Karen Gutrath, BST Instructor Before I can review my first year, I have to start at the beginning. I started learning sign language with my daughter, Kailyn, in 2006. Kailyn was born prematurely and I was an anxious first time parent. Several people in my family had speech delays when they were young, so I started to search for things that I could do to help Kailyn with her communication skills. My Pilates Instructor, Blanka, suggested renting the Signing Time videos from the local library. Kailyn and I fell in …

Signing Time with Spanish Leads to Communication Breakthrough

By / 2 minutes of reading

By Jennifer Thorsen, SLP – winner of our Facebook Success Story Contest As a speech-language pathologist, I am no stranger to signing. I use signs as part of a total communication approach with my clients in early intervention, to facilitate communication with my own children, and with my elementary-age students who have limited verbal communication skills. However, I’ve never had a student quite like Yadi. Yadi’s ability to express herself verbally is extremely limited, and she mainly uses signs and gestures to communicate her wants and needs along with a communication device. She is also bilingual, which posed another challenge …
