1. Parent Coaching

Most apps teach your toddler. Sign & Say teaches you — the techniques, the timing, and the "why" behind every approach. Because parents and caregivers are the most powerful language models in a child’s life.

2. Learn ASL

ASL and spoken English aren't either/or. You'll learn how to use both, giving your child two full languages to communicate with to build their vocabulary. Signing with your toddler doesn’t delay speech, research shows it helps children talk more and sooner!

3. Parenting gets easier

Less frustration. Fewer meltdowns. More connection. When your toddler can tell you what they need, everything changes.

MARISSA RAMOS, FOUNDER

Created by a team of early interventionists and a speech-language pathologist who is fluent in ASL

Sign & Say was developed by Marissa Ramos, a bilingual, ASL-fluent Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and a multidisciplinary team of early intervention specialists in autism, deaf/hard of hearing, and diverse communication needs.

The ASL activities are taught by Deaf early interventionists through our partnership with the REAL Project at Gallaudet University — the world's leading institution for Deaf education. When you learn a sign in this app, you're learning ASL from fluent users of the language.

Parents who were exactly where you are right now.

“My 18-month old daughter said 2 new words in minutes of trying the first activity. She wanted to play over and over again.”

“My son wasn't saying a single word at 18 months. Three weeks after starting this, he signed 'more' during dinner and said it out loud at the same time. I cried."

"Our SLP actually recommended this app as a supplement between sessions. It’s helped us do more at home and our son’s language has exploded."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No! Sign & Say trains YOU, the parent or caregiver. You watch short video lessons that walk you through each activity. Your child right there beside you. I model the strategies in real time while you practice them together. Your toddler isn’t staring at a screen — they’re interacting with you.

  • Yes. The app is in English and ASL, but the communication strategies you'll learn apply to any language. If you're raising your child in Spanish, French, or any other language alongside English, the techniques work the same way — just use them in whatever language you're speaking.

  • Nope! This is probably the #1 myth we bust. Research shows that signing alongside speech actually accelerates spoken language development. That's why Sign & Say teaches both, the way SLPs do it in sessions.

  • Sign & Say works alongside speech therapy — or fills the gap when therapy isn’t available yet. Use it to practice at home between sessions, while you’re on a waitlist, or if you don’t have access to services in your area. It does not replace speech therapy and is for educational purposes only.

  • You can still benefit from this app! Learning sign language and speech therapy strategies can boost any child’s language development.

  • We start with a 7 day free trial, then it’s $7.99/month or $87/year.

    For context: private speech therapy can cost $500+/month. Thanks to our partnership with the REAL Program at Gallaudet University, we’re able to make this accessible at less than the cost of one therapy session. 🥰

  • Yes. Sign & Say is grounded in real ASL — a complete, natural language, not invented baby signs. The ASL activities are taught by Deaf early interventionists through our partnership with the REAL Project at Gallaudet University.
