My Smart Hands of Maine - ASL Classes

My Smart Hands of Maine offers ASL instruction for you and your hearing child. 

ASL is not only an indispensable tool for the deaf and/or seriously hearing impaired, but it is now a widely accepted and innovative way of communicating with your hearing child as well.  Imagine ... having the ability to communicate with your baby before he or she is able to speak words! 

Research shows that preverbal infants can communicate through the use of sign language long before they can verbalize their needs.  Baby sign language can reduce your child's frustration in that he or she will be able to tell you what they want or need rather than you trying to "take a guess" at what they are trying to tell you.  It accelerates verbal development and strengthens their cognitive skills.  It also greatly enhances bonding through all of the time you will be able to spend teaching signs to your baby during every day life. 

At My Smart Hands of Maine we will give you the skills and knowledge you will need to communicate with your preverbal, hearing baby.  Come on along and take a class with My Smart Hands and learn how to sign with your baby!  Learn how signs taken from American Sign Language (ASL) can help you engage your child in two-way communication much earlier than you thought possible.
