What you will learnHappy Baby Signs' Introductory
Workshop introduces basic baby signs that are based on American
Sign Language (ASL) and is designed for expectant parents and
parents with hearing babies who range in age from birth to 18
months old. The workshop is an hour and a half long during which
information on the latest research on the benefits of signing with
babies will be discussed. Parents are taught useful tips on how to
train their babies to sign. Fun activities and songs will show you
how easy it can be to integrate these signs into your every day
routine and jump-start your child's verbal skills. This is a great
way to see what infant signing is all about without a major
commitment. Please join us with or without your baby!

Stop guessing what your baby is trying to tell you and start spending more time fulfilling your child's specific needs. Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to communicate with children long before babies can verbalize their wants and needs. Research studies show that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration and aggressive behavior, and as children mature, results in a greater interest in reading. Out of all the wonderful benefits of baby sign language, the most important benefit of all is that signing will greatly deepen the bond between you and your child.
This 6-week series class is a fun opportunity for you to build
your signing vocabulary with themes like mealtime, animals, colors,
family, bedtime, and more! We've split 18 sessions into three
different six-day series named after the primary colors: Red,
Yellow, and Blue. No need to take them in order. Just dive in and
start learning now.

playgroup series unless you are already familiar with American Sign
Language (ASL).
