Raphael has been very slow with his language development lately and his new speech pathologist was very unhappy about him only having only about six signs and fewer spoken words.
We are working on doubling his vocabulary by selecting a number of new nouns that are important to him and encouraging/forcing him to sign them before acting on what he wants.
He has made up a new sign where he taps the back of his hand with his index finger. He is starting to use it quite a lot while looking expectantly to us, but Annie and I have yet to work out what it is supposed to mean. I am not sure if he knows what it means either so I think that we'll just force a translate of "shoe" and give him his shoes along with the correct sign whenever he signs his version.
