Sign language for babies and toddlers |
Secondary abstract: |
The thesis, entitled Baby sign language for babies and toddlers, is composed of a theoretical and empirical part. The theoretical part defines baby signs and determines when, why and how long this language should be taken into consideration. Moreover, it touches on speech development and the history and development of the baby sign language. It describes and lists some of the baby signs and discusses strategies, methods and levels of sign communication with babies and toddlers.
The main purpose of the thesis is to present the characteristics of baby sign language. We would like to use the newly acquired knowledge in our future work with children.
The empirical part focuses on the parents who use baby signs with their children. We designed a questionnaire involving the following questions: why do the parents think that the sign language for babies and toddlers is an important skill; what is impeding the use of signs in communication; what advantages and disadvantages they experience while communicating with toddlers; and if there are any visible changes in the communication between the parents and the child. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Diplomsko delo z naslovom Znakovni jezik za slišeče dojenčke in malčke je sestavljeno iz teoretičnega in empiričnega dela. V teoretičnem delu sem opisala govorni razvoj predšolskega otroka. Predstavila sem zgodovino in pomen znakovnega jezika za dojenčke in malčke. Navedla sem razloge, ki govorijo v prid uporabi znakovnega jezika, ter strategije rabe znakovnega jezika dojenčka in malčka.
Cilj diplomskega dela je predstaviti značilnosti znakovnega sporazumevanja za dojenčke in malčke.
V empiričnem delu sem se osredotočila na starše, ki uporabljajo znakovni jezik skupaj z otroki in jih preko anketnega vprašalnika vprašala o tem, zakaj je po njihovem mnenju znakovno sporazumevanje z dojenčki in malčki pomembna veščina, kaj pri njih zavira uporabo znakov v sporazumevanju, kakšne prednosti in slabosti opažajo v tovrstnem sporazumevanju z otrokom ter kakšne spremembe se pojavljajo v sporazumevanju med starši in otrokom z uporabo znakov. |
