Dear Members,

Researching the topic to be able to educate parents when they call about our new offering, sign language classes, I found out that many studies show that sign language introduced in early age can offer some benefits: 

• Earlier communication with your child. Some children learn to sign as early as 7 or 8 months – much earlier than a typical baby learns to talk! 
• Babies who can communicate through sign are often much happier babies and toddlers which translates into a happier YOU!
• Babies who can sign have shown less frustration and have fewer tantrums overall, since they can usually communicate their needs better.
• Studies have shown that babies who learned sign as infants had a higher IQ overall than babies who didn’t learn sign.
• Children who have learned sign have been shown to have more advanced language skills than children who have not learned sign.
• Signing in the classroom has led to improved math scores among students.
• Learning sign language at an early age helps develop the brain in the critical early years of language development.
• Signing with your child provides a unique bonding experience between you and your child. 
• Signing opens the doors to wonderful friendships with those who use ASL as their primary language. 
• Signing helps promote self-esteem in children.
• You would be surprised at how often knowing sign language really comes in handy for both you and your child!  
•  And  more…..Signing is FUN for the whole family!!!!!
