Online family sign language courses
We have new courses for families to be introduced to family sign language and BSL.
Baby sign sessions are our online play times where you and your child can be introduced to a number of signs as you sing and read stories together.
Upcoming online sessions
Happy Hands (0 to 4 years)
Various dates available
At these interactive, online sessions, you and your little one will have fun whilst singing well known songs and nursery rhymes and reading some of your favourite stories. We’ll be using lots of toys, teddies and colour to grab your child’s attention and engage them through the screen.
Happy Hands is not a British Sign Language course but is a relaxed, animated and fun song time designed to boost children’s development in their early years whilst picking up some everyday signs along the way.
Family Sign Language – group online course (4 to 7 years)
This group course starts on Wednesday 19 April 2023, 6pm – 7pm, for 6 consecutive weeks.
Families are welcome to join this course with their children to learn useful everyday signs alongside other parents and carers, including numbers & colours, family, emotions, food, play time, and routines, as well as an introduction to BSL and finger spelling.
While the course is aimed at ages 4 to 7, parents of deaf children outside this range are welcome to apply.
