From My Smart Hands:
My Smart Hands with Maria is pleased to announce that a new Level One session will be taught in the Family Room at Milagros Boutique.What to expect from a Level One Class:These sessions introduce you to every day words, family signs, foods, animals, emotions, opposites, bed time, and play signs. You will learn recommended first signs; we will discuss the benefits of using American Sign Language (ASL) with infants and demonstrate easy techniques for successfully integrating signs into everyday life. In this 8-week program you will learn over 100 ASL signs to use with your child. Each class allows for review, discussions, songs, and practice of signs in a playful, educational, and language-rich environment where caregivers and children will build their vocabulary. Classes are 45 minutes in length and are created for parents/ caregivers and babies.This program is recommended for pre-verbal babies with little to no signing exposure. Most babies are developmentally ready for signing back to their caregivers around 8-10 months of age, but exposure to sign can begin at birth. The typical age of attending babies is 6-18 months. If you have an older or more experience baby and wish to take a Level Two class please contact me for more details.Please visit www.mysmarthands.com for more details about My Smart Hands and to see an example of a signing baby in action (click on the “media” tab).
