How do you sign “Son” in ASL?
SON: SON in American Sign Language (ASL) names a male child. Watch the video and animation below to see it signed.


Where does SON come up in conversation?
SON works wherever family is described: introductions, stories, questions about kids. Family signs are often the reason hearing parents start learning ASL at all, and this one carries a lot of those first conversations. School events and sports sidelines keep it in weekly use for signing families.
It belongs to the Lesson 25 family set in Book 1.
