BACKGROUND and BIO

Selena Lohan created Mimic Baby Sign Language in 2003 when she began teaching baby signing in community centres in her hometown of Vancouver, Canada.

Selena has been signing ASL (American Sign Language) since 1995 when she met her husband-to-be Max Fomitchev who is a internationally known Deaf Mime “Max-i-mime”.

In 2002 the couple welcomed their first child together. Their son (who is hearing) was just 7 months old when he started signing back to them; it was inspirational.

“To have your tiny infant clearly tell you what he wants is a parenting dream. But when my baby was able to tell me what he felt, and even what he dreamed I was moved to tears.” Selena Lohan

It was right then that Selena knew she would find a way to share this amazing parenting tool with families everywhere.

Selena and Max used their experience with sign language, acting, writing, and parenting to develop a teaching program with the right baby-centric vocabulary. Soon after, they started production of the first Canadian Edutainment DVDs on Baby Sign Language.

Now in stores across Canada in the US, their Mimic Me DVDs are encouraging early communication and closer family bonds.
