Jacque started signing with her son, Jonathan, when he was seven months old. Jonathan had his first sign "FISH" at 11 months and continued to acquire more signs as he went along. Jonathan was able to use 60 signs to express his needs, with over 50 active spoken vocabulary words and produced simple 2-word phrases as early as 18 months.

Jacque has been a teacher of English for over 10 years and continues to work in the field of education, particularly language education and parent education. She has conducted talks and playgroups for children and families to promote parent education. Having worked with teachers in her profession, she is also keen on promoting the Baby Signs® Program to early childhood educators.
