Online Baby Sign Language Introductory Workshop VIRTUAL-LIVE This virtual 90-minute workshop gives parents the opportunity to learn how sign language helps babies communicate effectively long before they can verbalize their wants and needs.

This workshop is based on American Sign language (ASL). You will learn about the latest research and how to teach your baby to sign. Fun activities and songs will show you how easy it can be to integrate more than 20 simple signs into everyday routine. Recommended for babies from birth to 18 months. Expectant parents are welcome. Grandparents and other family members are very welcome to join the fun as well. Guests logging in from different locations are required to register separately.
