"I wanted to let you know how wonderful signing with Ava has been. It has revealed so much of her personality and given us access to how she perceives her world. It really goes beyond understanding her basic needs and desires.  For example, Ava saw an older boy slip from his seat on the zoo train and draw blood. For several weeks afterwards, she related the incident by signing TRAIN, HURT, TONGUE, and CRY. We were just amazed at how much empathy she felt for this boy and also by her capacity for memory and storytelling. We just can't describe how happy that we took your classes and started signing with Ava!"  ~Betty (Ava's mom)

Our classes are designed to help you get started signing successfully AND keep you going on this amazing journey.  Signing doesn't have to end with a few basic signs!!
