Baby Sign Language
Jump-Start Your Child's Verbal Skills!

 Baby Sign Language gives children the opportunity to communicate long before they can verbalize their wants and needs.

Research studies show that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration, enhances a child's self-esteem, and deepens the bond between parent and child.

Step 1
Introductory Workshop

 This workshop introduces more than 20 signs that are based on American Sign Language (ASL). It is designed for expectant parents and parents with babies ranging in age from birth to 18 months. Expectant parents are welcome too! You will learn about the latest research and all the tools to teach your baby to sign. Fun activities and songs will show you how easy it can be to integrate simple signs into your everyday routine to jump-start your child’s verbal skills.
