A sign language (also signed language) is a language which uses manual communication, body language and lip patterns instead of sound to convey meaning—simultaneously combining hand shapes, orientation and movement of the hands, arms or body, and facial expressions to express fluidly a speaker's thoughts. more at Wikipedia

Sign language was the key to unlocking our son's ability to communicate. He never spoke more than three or four words until we started teaching him sign language at 3 1/2 years old. Now his vocabulary is excellent, both spoken and signed.
HUGE help.
I was able to learn in colleg.
I started using sign after I fired my therapists who no longer followed through on my son's plan of care. This was how I initiated speech along with PECs and verbal cues.

It worked very well and although my son now has limited speech He will use sign and so will I to communicate something in a quiet place.

Yes, used when he was for the most-part non-verbal. continued to use when in public places.( to correct him or to let him know we would be leaving some. It is also great for him to let me know what he wants in public when he is stressed.

This works well, however we don't use it as much as we did earlier.
