About the Author

Stewart, Jennifer: - Educator

Praise for this book

"This is the best and easiest-to-follow guide for my educators. The book is not only packed with research-backed strategies, but it also provides practical easy-to-implement activities that my teachers can use immediately. Our classrooms have become more inclusive, and we've seen a significant decrease in frustration-related behaviors among our preverbal and neurodivergent children. This should be required for every early educator- game changer!" Lisa M, Early Childhood Program Director

"Our home was filled with daily frustration before discovering The Magic of Simple Signing. My three-year-old has a significant speech delay, and not being able to communicate his needs led to frequent meltdowns and stress for both of us. This book changed everything. The simple, and practical approach made it easy for me to introduce signs into our daily routine, and within a week, my son was using ASL to express himself. I'll never forget the first time he sign 'more' at the dinner table." Rachel W. Mom, Speech-delayed Toddler

"As a special education director, I have spent years researching resources that provide practical strategies and deep insight into language accessibility for diverse learners. This book delivers on all fronts. Step-by-step framework for integrating ASL into classrooms and home environments as well as therapy sessions in a way that supports language development, social-emotional growth, and behavior management. It would be smart to supply every classroom with this book and ASL materials." Dr. Michael K, Special Education Director
