Teaching hearing children to sign is an extension of the types of nonverbal communication they already use to get your attention, including facial expression, gesturing, making noise, crawling, toddling toward an object of desire, and more. Focusing on communication has never been more important given lost opportunities during the pandemic to learn and practice language skills.

Join music therapist, early childhood consultant and author, Dr. Anne Meeker Watson for this engaging webinar. You can expect a rousing session that will be equal parts sign language instruction, music, play, and JOY.

  • The benefits of combining sign and song for child development
  • Easy ways to incorporate signing across the environments and routines of your day with young children

Get ready for an interactive and enjoyable hour with great information and ideas you can utilize immediately in your work – and play – with youngsters.
