Free Workshop!
Signing with Young Children
Tuesday, March 12
6:00 - 7:30 pm
2 South Glade Road, Walkersville, MD 21793
Babies have control over their hands long before they develop the skills required for communication. By teaching infants to sign, more and more parents, grandparents and caregivers are recognizing the many benefits of this early communication.
Current research supports the use of sign language with babies from birth. Using sign language with babies actually helps foster spoken language in young children.
Join this exciting hands on workshop to learn the steps to successfully sign with your baby or toddler. You will leave with resources, information, and having learned more than 100 signs.
