Sharing the ABC's

Today's blog post comes from Julie Walker, a newly licensed WeeHands Instructor who is setting up her WeeHands classes soon in the Scottsdale, Arizona area.

Today I told one of the parents of a child I work with about this my WeeHands Instructor’s certification training and she was very excited about it!  This mother is taking the signs that I teach her and using them with her child every day.  She looks forward to the day when her child will start signing to her.  

I also read an ABC book with a group of children and they loved doing the signs as we read the book. The mother of one of the children got very excited and the mother learned all of the ABC's by the time we finished!  I was also very happy because one of the children in the group, who has a disability and struggles with communicating, started imitating some of the alphabet as we sang the song!
