What Others are Saying About Signing Families

A lesson for everyone!, September 14, 2009

"No matter what age you are, learning Sign Language is a gift that will keep on giving. Whether you have a special needs child, work with them or simply want to enhance your skills and education, this DVD is so user friendly and cost effective that everyone should take advantage of the opportunity to broaden your knowledge. I actually learned to Sign in Elementary School! It was part of our class subjects way back when, although I don't remember all of it, I can still Sign A-Z; however with this new DVD, I can quickly pick it up again. The bilingual aspect is an added bonus!"
By Sue Scheff (South Florida)


"Louise Sattler was a guest on my show Getting to the Heart of the Matter. It quickly became apparent that she's what you would call a "dream guest." She's lively and filled with funny, relevant stories that create an air of instant friendship for the host and the listening audience. She has the quick wit to be able to switch from serious to humorous without missing a beat, a true dream when interviewing someone. Thanks Louise, let's do it again and again!"
Sharon Silver - ProActive Parenting


“I loved learning a new and effective way to communicate with my child-I feel less frustrated!”
A parent from the Healthy Families Program in Maryland


"Louise is a wonderful teacher and inspires new Moms with her wealth of information and enthusiasm! She has been a speaker in my New Moms Group for the last 4 years and is a wonderful asset to our program."
Judy Templeton, Parent - Child Specialist in Maryland


" I loved the DVD [Functional Sign Language] and have shared it with other Moms whose children have delayed speech. It is well done and easy to follow, even fun!”
Dr. Judy in Texas
"I just wanted to write and thank you again for your class this past Saturday. Last night Annika made her first sign, asking for "more" of her snack! It was amazing to see and experience. We even made sure not to scream our excitement, but to clap and give kisses and let her know that she was doing a very good thing, and I believe she was pleased. Also, she did the babble version, as you suggested she would, knocking some fingers into the palm of her other hand."

"My husband and I just can't believe the turnaround time of only four days, and are very motivated to keep going and encouraging Annika to sign. We even gave your DVD to our day care provider to use during the day as well."

"Again, thank you so much for showing us how to bridge a huge gap with our little girl in helping us learn how to better communicate with each other. "
Michelle in Maryland
"I just purchased your DVD and I'm so pleased to have such an affordable, useful resource for learning to sign with my daughter. Many of the signs were familiar to me, but it was nice to see the baby modifications. My husband isn't familiar with signing at all, so we are learning together. We're hoping that starting when our daughter is three months old will lead to greater communication and fewer tantrums down the road. Thanks, Louise, for providing something immediately useful to time-stressed parents!"
Lynn in Maryland
"Hi, Louise!   Thank you for the class (and the doughnut and book!). We really enjoyed learning the signs and [our daughter] loves her book. "
Maureen in Maryland
" We loved the DVD. How fun it was for us to see our little ones! Since the filming, they have learned the signs for baby, bath, sleep, bed, eat, drink, book and story. we are so proud!"
Lynda in Maryland
"The DVD is excellent! You are a great teacher. It was very easy to follow and my kids were readily picking up the signs. Job well done. Congratulations!"
Kendra in Maryland
"Thanks for a fun class and for keeping the lecture simple.!! "
William in Maryland
"I miss our ASL Class!!"
Leah in Maryland
"I am a grandmother of both a grandson who has speech and language delays and a bilingual granddaughter and found this (Baby, Toddler, and Preschool Sign Language) DVD so helpful for me and my husband. Thank you Dr. Sattler for such an excellent sign language communication tool. I have definitely recommended this DVD to other grandparents with similar needs that I have. We are so thankful for such an excellent tool."
CricketM in New York
"Tried signing with my daughter as recommended by several friends. I found this (Baby, Toddler, and Preschool Sign Language) DVD to be most helpful in establishing sign communication, start with the basics and continue to learn and understand your child's requests. I'm having fun with my new communication skills and especially when my daughter learns a new sign! I find myself signing to other adults and children as a force of habit."
R. Ricardo in New Jersey
