Meet the Author

Talking with Baby Company History Marsha Peterson is a single parent raising her son Chad who she fondly calls Potts. Chad was born with Down syndrome and later as a teenager diagnosed with Autism. As a baby he knew what he wanted but couldn't express it and this often resulted in painful frustrated and often dangerous melt downs. Chads special education teachers suggestion to use sign language was the key. He wanted to learn to communicate faster than his mom could learn the language herself. Every weekend Chad would learn and remember 5 to 6 new signs. It was a struggle keeping his caregivers and the school informed with new words he was signing. Later she learned that he was using different signs at school than he was at home, so consistency with word signs became a problem.

Talking with Baby was created to help teach sign language while keeping word signs consistent between home, school and community. This tent style book sits on a table and frees hands for signing. The use of a rainbow of color coded words help you remember signs learned while learning new signs throughout the series.
