Unlocking Communication for Every Child
One in fourteen children experiences communication delays — but with the right support, they can thrive. In smaller markets like New Zealand, access to services can take time, but there are powerful tools that can help. Sign language offers a fun and empowering way for children to express their thoughts, emotions, and needs. It builds confidence, supports cognitive development, and fosters connection and inclusion.
It’s a life-changing skill for every young learner.
Why it’s Free
We believe every child is entitled to communication tools without barriers to entry, waitlists, or undesirable costs. So, we are sharing our knowledge and digital art freely, knowing it will help unlock children’s potential today. We also stock a range of physical products that you can purchase to support us and make starting learning Sign Language easy-peasy.
If you want to contribute your knowledge or skills to the Chatter Hands, please get in touch.
We are looking for beta testers: Families, SLTs Early Childhood Education Centers.

My Why
As a parent of a minimally speaking child, I recognise the importance of accessible communication resources for all children. Chatter Hands was created to provide engaging tools that empower every child to express themselves and connect with others.
Our resources are designed to help all children, regardless of their communication abilities, express themselves and connect with their friends, families, and communities.
