Cyne Johnston, an audiologist and doctoral student in Population Health at the University of Ottawa, created a Catalogue of products sold to parents for teaching signing to babies. She then conducted a systematic review to determine if research evidence supported the products' claims. The work was funded in part by the Canadian Language and Literacy Research Network and Research Works! for child literacy. Cyne effectively brought this new knowledge to the parents, practitioners, and researchers in online, media, and peer-reviewed journal resources.
