What: Contrary to the name, this class is far from “basic”. Families learn to use dozens of simple ASL signs, lowering frustration, and enhancing bonding, speech, and literacy. Weekly parent lesson, music, stories, puppets, parachute & bubbles, all with ASL signs.

Offered as 3 eight week sessions— Level 1, Level 2A, & Level 2B.
Babies starting class age 6-9 months will begin producing signs, on average, within 6-12 weeks, and can go on to learn dozens more before transitioning fully to speech.
Research shows that hearing babies who sign, on average, have 50 more spoken words by age 2 and are verbally 11 months ahead of non-signing peers by age 3.
Ideal start age for Level 1 is 6- 9 months
