This fun four-week course is for parents and caregivers who want to enhance communication with their baby or toddler, young deaf child, or child with special needs. Research in communication shows that there are great benefits in communication and related communications skills for both hearing babies and toddlers, as well as young children who are deaf or who have other special needs.
We learn 25-40 signs each session so that parents and caregivers will have lots of choices, and talk about ways to teach and use them.
Baby Sign Sessions....to be announced. Contact ODC for details.
