Imagine communicating with your child before he or she can even speak!
At My Smart Hands - Phoenix, we offer classes and workshops that will give you the skills and knowledge you need to communicate with your preverbal, hearing baby. If you are looking for baby and toddler sign language classes, My Smart Hands - Phoenix is here to meet your needs! Come learn how signs taken from American Sign Language (ASL) can help you engage your child in two-way communication.
Research shows that preverbal infants and toddlers can communicate through the use of sign language long before they can verbalize their needs using speech.
Teaching sign language to your baby or toddler:
-Reduces Frustration
-Accelerates Verbal Development
-Strengthens Cognitive Skills
We offer classes for children birth to age 5, but a recommended starting age is around 6 months. This is more for our benefit as parents than the children, as children typically can make their first sign around 8-10 months, with some signing sooner and some signing later.
The parent or caregiver participates in class with the child. Siblings can register at no extra charge, as well as one additional caregiver (mom, dad, grandparent, etc).
