About The Signing Time Foundation
The Signing Time Foundation is dedicated to making sign language fun and accessible to all children, creating a world in which all children can express themselves and be understood.

The Signing Time Foundation is inspired by Signing Time star Rachel Coleman’s daughter Lucy, sister to Leah Coleman co-host of Signing Time. Lucy was born with Spina Bifida and Cerebral Palsy. When Lucy was born, her doctors said she would not communicate. But because Lucy grew up in a “sign language” environment (her sister Leah is deaf), though her speech was delayed, it never occurred to her that she couldn’t sign. Starting with the sign for “more,” Lucy quickly developed a vocabulary of hundreds of signs and speech soon followed. Lucy is now mainstreamed in public school and currently attends first grade. Lucy is considered the first of many “Signing Time Miracles.”

Sign language may be the only way for many children with special needs to communicate, and the only way for the tens of millions of typically developing children to communicate with their peers with special needs. Sign language serves children as a diverse community, and all children can benefit from the social and educational advantages achieved through the inclusion of sign in their learning.
