Baby sign language
has radically affected the lives of many families.
Most children begin to communicate
through speech at 15-18 months of age. With
the use of sign language, families are now developing closer bonds with
their children as they begin to communicate as early as 8-12 months of age!
Unlock
the thoughts, observations and wants of your child’s mind with the gift
of American Sign Language!

I have watched my 15 month old son be able to sign
to me since we went to signing
classes with Eileen Ladino and it really is amazing. He can
tell me when he is hot and when he is cold
and whether he wants milk or water to drink.
But last night it truly paid off. He woke up crying
and when I went in I was able
to ask him what was wrong and he showed me that his head hurt.
A very short time later after some Tylenol
he was sleeping peacefully again. Usually I
would have been up a while changing his diaper,
checking his tummy wasn't sore
etc before trying to get him back to sleep. Tonight it was very
quick. These classes are worth their weight
in gold!! I would recommend them to everyone.

Our son Eli attended your class
last month and this week we have had the pleasure of seeing him
ask for his milk using the sign without screaming. The reduction
in crying has been very apparent. Eli will turn 9 months old next
week. He now uses the sign repeatedly and shows excitement as he
understands this great control he now has over his parents who
react with quick service when the sign is given. Thank you for
your help in creating a more peaceful environment.
