Baby Sign Language
Introduction to Baby Sign Language
This workshop introduces more than 40 signs that are based on American Sign Language (ASL). It is designed for expectant parents and parents with babies ranging in age from birth to 18 months. You will learn about the latest research and all the tricks on how to teach your baby to sign. Fun activities and songs will show you how easy it can be to integrate simple signs into your everyday routine to jump-start your child’s verbal skills.
Classes are offered at local hospitals and parent resource centers.

Sign Language Playgroups
Our six-week playgroup is a fun opportunity for parents to build their signing vocabulary with themes like mealtime, animals, colors, family, bedtime, and more. Two different playgroup series are offered for an increased opportunity to practice and build your signing vocabulary. One is called Playgroup Zoom and the other is called Playgroup Boom. Parents have only to take one series to have a strong command of baby sign language. Both Playgroup Boom and Playgroup Zoom include the essential basic starter signs and vary in the more advanced vocabulary. After taking one series parents are welcome to enroll in the alternate series, if not just for the fun of it, but also to strengthen and increase their signing vocabulary. It is recommended that participants enroll in the Introductory Workshop prior to taking a playgroup series.
Classes are offered at local hospitals and parent resource centers.

Host Your Own Class for Free!
Host your own series of playgroups at your home or your local mothers club. Your family's registration is free if six other paying families join.* The days don’t have to be consecutive, thus you can have an irregular patchwork of dates. This is a great way to meet new friends in your neighborhood with kids the same age. They quite likely might end up becoming your best friends for the next 18 years! It’s fun! To schedule your playgroup or for more information contact Bill White at 650-571-0337 or send an email to bill@touchbluesky.com. * Critical mass may be larger for certain areas.

Babies already sign when they cry, lift their arms to be picked up, point to a toy, or simply blow you a kiss. Wouldn't it be nice to know more precisely what your baby is trying to tell you?
Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to communicate with children long before babies can verbalize their wants and needs. Research studies show that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration, enhances a child's self esteem, and deepens the bond between parent and child.
