As a Child of a Deaf Adult, CODA, Jenny Stewart has been signing her entire life. She, along with her siblings, were taught baby sign language by her father, who was Deaf. Her late father, Dr. David Stewart, was a professor of Deaf education, American Sign Language, Interpreting, teaching Deaf and hard of hearing children, and a leader in the research and promotion of Deaf culture and sports. Jenny considers sign language to be a beloved communication tool that her father gifted her. She now wants to pass on this gift not only to her children but to others as well through her Signing Courses program.
Signing Courses is a straightforward program that equips parents, caregivers, and childcare providers with the tools needed to teach babies and toddlers basic signs so they can communicate before they can speak. Not only are participants taught how to utilize sign language; they are also taught how encourage the development of spoken language to provide an avenue of spontaneous communication with their children.
The program features a 1 hour fully online course that can be easily completed during nap time. Participants of the program will also learn what signs, how, and when, to effectively teach a child baby signs. This approach is in contrast to other similar companies that only teach signs without giving an easy method that allows parents to successfully use sign language with their baby.
More specifically, in the first course offering called The Sign Language Toolkit: Baby Signs, teachers, parents and caregivers will be taught how to successfully utilize sign language with babies and toddlers before they can speak. What’s more, these baby sign language courses have no expiration date and can be readily accessed at any time.
The Signing Courses, Baby Signs course is ideal for parents of babies and toddlers ages 0 – 3 and is guaranteed to reduce all the tantrums and frustration that comes with their inability to effectively communicate. At the end of the program, Jenny promises that everyone will be empowered with a more spontaneous way of communicating.
Childcare providers, childcare centers, and early education programs will also find the course helpful as they can become certified in baby signs. This certification will, in turn, mark their centers as inclusive and encourage collaboration between parents and their wards. Moreover, incorporating baby signs into one’s curriculum will put them ahead of the pack and differentiate them as a leader in childhood development.
Since Stewart embarked on this course of sharing her father’s gift with others, she has met with nothing but positive reviews from participants who have taken her course. As one client puts it, “I honestly did not expect to have the results from this course that I have. I took the course a week ago and started with a simple sign. Yesterday, we were driving a lot and my 12-month-old son was stuck in his car seat. When we got home, I thought he would want to crawl and move. He was still upset so I laid him down to change him and he was still crying but signed SLEEP! I put him to bed at 6:30 and he slept immediately and throughout the night. I wish I had this early communication with my first 2 children. It’s a GAME CHANGER!”
