Infant & toddler sign language webinar with Melissa Ratsch

Babies may say goo-goo and ga-ga, but inside their heads are clear thoughts. They just lack the skills to form words. Spoken words, that is. That’s where sign language comes in.

According to WSU sign language instructor Melissa Ratsch, infants and toddlers have control of their hands long before they are able to use their words. Some babies can communicate in sign language as early as 6-8 months. That stimulates the baby’s mind, increases bonding, and paves the way for great communications with your child.

If you’d like to learn more, and have the chance to ask questions, please attend one of Melissa’s free hour-long webinars.
