Teach your toddler to talk and sign

The Sign & Say App teaches you the exact strategies speech therapists use to support your toddler’s communication at home — in just 15 minutes a day.

Speech therapy strategies, in your hands (literally 👋)

Let's get your toddler signing and talking — starting this week.

1. Parent Coaching

Most apps teach your toddler. Sign & Say teaches you — the techniques, the timing, and the "why" behind every approach. Because you're the one with them all day.

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.

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 speech-language pathologist who is fluent in ASL

Sign & Say was developed by a bilingual, ASL-fluent Speech-Language Pathologist using the same evidence-based strategies used in professional SLP sessions. The kind of thing your SLP would actually recommend.

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 real ASL from someone for whom it's their first 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. That says everything. It's not a gimmick — it's the real deal."

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.

  • 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 $8.99/month or $99/year (save 2 months with annual).

    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.
