Sean's Communication Guide

With the holidays coming up and many of you getting to see Sean we figured it would be good for us to post a communication guide. Yes he does know all of the following and will use uses them. You better study up, and yes there will be a test - when you see him...
  • Banana
  • Bath
  • Airplane
  • Dog
  • Brush Teeth
  • All Done
  • Bye / Hello
  • Hot
  • Light
  • Baby
  • Rain
  • Bird/Duck
  • Wind
  • Where (did ____ go) - is actually sign for what
  • Emergency (Siren) as in firetruck/police car (Rotating Lights)
  • Dance (gets "jiggy" with the arms or goes in circles)
  • Telephone / Phone
  • Up (Stands in front of you with arms raised)
  • Shake (Valiantly move right hand up and down)
  • Of course most of the above Sean has modified, but are recognizable if you know the sign and context he's using, most of the time. All of the above come from the American Sign Language University online.


    Verbals from Sean:
    • Dad/Papa is "Da Da"
    • Mom is "Da Da"
    • Kiss "Ma" with a head but
    • Stop is "Da"
    • Help is "Da" or "uh uh"
    • That is "Dat"
    • "oh wow" / "wow wow"
    • "Uh-O"
    Good luck to you all - you're going to need it.
