Emphasis is functional (and fun) language and learning skill development through motivation and reinforcement. Individual instruction follows principles of verbal behavior with techniques such as intensive teaching (discrete trial), verbal modules and incidental instruction.

A one of a kind program! Research shows that all children regardless of their communication or hearing ability benefit from learning sign language. Join us as we bring signing to life through songs, games, stories, and playtime in a group setting. Mommy & Me as well as adult/parent/professional classes are offered. Classes are designed for children with special needs as well as their typically developing siblings and friends.
