The Authors of Toddler Interpreter Collectively have over 20 years Experience Signing with Babies

Ian Creaser and Lisa Baade share 20 years experience between them working with baby sign language, scientific research and children.

Ian has worked in the Disability sector for 7 years teaching sign language to hearing children and adults who suffer severely from Autism Spectrum Disorders and Downs Syndrome. He first became interested in using signing for babies was when he became a father. After much research it became apparent that there were very few resources available to teach hearing children to communicate with sign language. He felt that there was a simpler way to bridge the temporary communication gap between parents and children in the first few years using baby signs that were age appropriate and based on natural gestures rather than sign language that was meant for adults.

Lisa is a research scientist of 13 years experience. As a mother of two, she became interested in the use of baby sign language as she looked for ways to become a better parent. She has spent a great deal of time since researching signing for babies and is using baby sign language with her own daughter. She hopes that these baby sign language resources provide parents with a new and fun way to interact understand and communicate with their baby and toddlers.
