Mambia can I ask why you think sign language delays speech? I have always incorporated sign into my programming and my daycare kids are all on track speech wise. I find it absolutely wonderful that they can sign more, milk sleep etc before they are developmentally able to speak. It takes away all that wonderful screaming when they want something and don't have the words yet to tell you. The school boards even use sign to help children along. When I sign to a child, I always verbally say the words too so that they are hearing them over and over as well.
