Baby Sign Class
(Babies 10 – 20 months)

Babies have a lot to say – they just don’t know how to say it yet!

Research has proven that infants, typically developing or not, who learn to communicate using sign may have a better command of spoken language as they develop.  And best of all, babies using sign exhibit fewer negative behaviors because they can tell you what they want.

Beverly School for the Deaf trained faculty provides a fun, developmentally appropriate class that will teach moms and dads how to implement this easy tool in their home.  The class lasts only one hour and is supported by take-home CD/DVD materials for home use.

Classes are held one morning per week at Beverly School for the Deaf and run for 10 weeks.

For info on the next session see our Community Classes page.
