“Signing” “Time”
Benefits of Signing Time
- Signing Time speaks directly to your child. It is an engaging activity you both can participate in together
- Signing Time uses real ASL signs, not made up or modified signs. This has the same benefits as exposing your child to any other second langauge-the signs can be understood by others who sign, and used in real-world situations outside of the home
Benefits of Taking Classes
- Attending classes provides motivation to continue signing each week, which increases the liklihood that you will be consistent in your efforts to use ASL with your child and thus reap the benefits.
- Having other parents to exchange information with and offer support can be helpful and build friendships and community
- Having a qualified instructor to answer questions or demonstrate the correct way to do signs can eliminate confusion and expand your signing skills
