Family Sign Language Course

This is specifically tailored for families with Deaf children or any family interested in fostering communication and connection through sign language i.e. children who cannot verbally speak. This course offers a unique opportunity for families to learn BSL together, strengthening bonds and fostering inclusivity within the family unit.

Through interactive lessons, games, and activities, families will learn practical signs for daily routines, emotions, and activities, empowering both children and adults to communicate effectively and express love and support in a visual and accessible way. Depending on your family's needs, you can enhance communication with other means, such as photos of locations you visit and more; all of which we can support you with. Join us on this enriching journey as we learn, connect, and celebrate the beauty of sign language and visual communication together, to empower you as a whole and reduce frustration.
