The Baby Signs program offers parent workshops, play classes and ECE training to help parents and caregivers communicate with hearing babies ages six months to two years using simple, easy to learn, signs until they can talk. With the Baby Signs program, parents teach babies to use simple signs to communicate important things – like being hungry or thirsty, hot or cold, afraid or sad – often a full year before babies could otherwise speak. The Baby Signs program can offer dramatic benefits, including decreasing frustration for babies and parents, enriching the parent-child bond, boosting emotional development, helping babies talk sooner – even jumpstarting intellectual development.
