Parent Workshops

A A Signing Smart™ Tots Workshop is for parents new to baby sign language as well as for those who have already started signing with their baby or toddler and are looking for support during the early phases and even for those who have been signing with their baby for quite some time but are looking to learn new signs, strategies and ideas for furthering their child's learning and sign vocabulary all while having fun. More than just motivating parents to sign, this workshop helps parents develop a plan for successfully signing with research-proven Signing Smart™ strategies and techniques. You will learn the Signing Smart™ Start - how many and which signs to use in the early stages - as well as how to build up your signs as time goes on. In addition, you will learn to create interactions in which your baby will most easily learns signs, how to bring signs into your child's world, and how to recognize your child's first signs.

Through instructor presentation, interactive activities and discussion, and video examples, you will learn over 35 ASL signs, as well as tools, strategies, and resources that will enable you to experience the success of Signing Smart™ from the very first day.

This workshop is perfect for expectant parents as well as those with children from birth through 2 years of age.  Parents of older children with special needs can also benefit from attending this Workshop.  Signing Smart™ Tots baby & toddler sign language workshops are also available for childcare providers and professionals working with young children.

Signing Smart™ Tots' workshops are based on the Signing Smart™ infant sign language curriculum developed by Michelle Anthony, M.A., Ph.D., and Reyna Lindert, Ph.D., two young mothers and child-development experts who studied language development and literacy and are certified in American Sign Language.
