Visually Speaking
Deaf owned and operated, Visually Speaking teaches parents and young hearing children to communicate in American Sign Language (ASL). The company offers classes for children as young as six months of age throughout the Greater Puget Sound, and families have a number of class options to choose from. Workshops: held bi-monthly for two hours, and introduce you to the benefits of signing with your infant. Time will be spent learning frequently used signs and getting comfortable with a new mode of communication. Parents leave the workshop with a better understanding of the benefits of signing with their infant and how to get started on their own, and with a minimum of 50 new ASL signs. Infants are welcome to attend. [$35/person; $45/couple] In-home instruction: Gather at least two other interested friends and host classes at your house. Classes are held once per week for five consecutive weeks, and are one hour long. Parents learn everything they need to know about communicating with their infants using ASL, and will take away a minimum of 100 new ASL signs. Infants are welcome. [$80/one adult, one child; second adult free] Sing and Sign Lessons: Pre-school children and their families learn at least 50 signs in a fun, musical environment. The 30-minute lessons are held once a week for four consecutive weeks, with a curriculum based on the Sign2Me Pick Me Up! music CD and Activity Guide. Cost varies depending class location; the CD and Activity Guide can be purchased at the first lesson.
