Why Gestures & Sign Language is Vital to Language Learning

From babies to late talkers, children with Down syndrome or on the Autism Spectrum, early childhood professionals should know the power of nonverbal communication as well as sign language. Sign language is highly functional, and imitation of motions leads to imitation of sounds. In this interactive course, professionals will learn over 50 signs to use in the classroom to boost language as well as support visual learners with cues for the next right behavior or choice! Using sign language helps all children but especially those who are neurodiverse as they need the visual and tactile cues to know what is happening next or what directions to follow. Your teachers will love this course and even after-school teachers enjoy this class as a new fun thing to teach children and use when practicing spelling words!
