50 First Words Parent Handouts

One of the most frequent concerns I hear from parents is that their child is only saying a few words but their doctor says to wait until their 2-year appointment.

I created this set of handouts as a visual reminder and to give parents. It also has ideas when they can practice the word.

Each word also includes a picture of how to make the sign in sign language.

I recommend only working on a few words at a time.

Here are a few examples: 

First Words Eat in Sign Language
First Word Help in Sign Language

These handouts are available as a set and also in a bundle with my Early Intervention Notebook.
