Have you ever followed your 2 year old to the kitchen where he grunts at you, you try to guess what he wants, he throws a fit in frustration and your frustration matches his? Now picture you both going to the kitchen where he signs MILK or BANANA because he is a Baby Signing Time graduate.

Imagine being able to have a "conversation" with your pre-verbal toddler about the dog that has just run into the yard outside the window or watching your toddler ask please for something and then respond with thank you once they have received their request.

Sign Language is a practical communication tool for all parents, especially parents of young children. "Babies crawl before they walk and sign before they talk"* Scientific studies suggest that "typical" children who learn ASL:

may have Higher IQ Scores (when tested)
  may be better adjusted
may read at an earlier age

In the Baby Signing Time Classes you and your child will learn sign as you sing, dance, and play games. Each child will create a photo album with pictures of themselves signing. You and your child can than use this album as your flip book encouraging memory and repetition of all the signs you have learned.

Sign Language is being used by children of all needs and abilities. Studies are starting to show children with special needs such as speech delays, Autism, and Down Syndrome can benefit from sign language and Signing Time.

"My hope is that everyone will know a little sign, just as most people know a little Spanish - so when your child sees my child at the park, there would be no awkwardness, no communication barrier, just three signs... Hi....friend... play... that is all it would take to change her world." Rachel Coleman co-creator of Signing Time
