This five week course is designed to promote healthy communication between parents and children. The emphasis will be on learning American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary to use in conjunction with spoken language. Sign language is a visual language that can help reduce frustration, enhance early language skills, strengthen the bond between child and caregiver, reinforce important motor skills and is fun to learn!
The sessions will be taught by Sydelle Murphy, a registered Speech-Language Pathologist with extensive knowledge of general language development and ASL. Sydelle graduated with a Masters of Science from McGill University and has been working for the past five years with deaf and hard of hearing children from birth to age five.
Classes will run on Wednesdays at 11am, from July 8th until August 5th. Each interactive session will be 45 minutes long and include a review of previous signs, instruction of new signs, games, ASL rhymes, songs and activities for you and your baby. We will learn basic signs, including animals, colours, routines, family, emotions and the alphabet. Participants will receive handouts as well as access to a blog designed specifically for this class with video updates, tips, and links to other sites of interest. The cost is $50 for five, 45 minute sessions. Classes will be held in south Burnaby, near Kingsway and Edmonds.
