This is some of the things that are being said about the Love 2 Sign LLC classes and workshops:

* Communication: I was finally able to do so with Sara. I wish I could have learned more words.

Aimee - mom to Sara

* All of it was useful because I never signed before and I learned something new and my son is learning too!

Chelsie - mom to Spencer

* Nicholaus likes music and pays more attention when there is music. Plus, it gave me ideas to use/learn/remember signs. I really enjoyed myself.

Marcia - Mom to Nicholaus

* Everything was perfect.

Michelle - Mom to Derek

* Thanks again, Rhonda, for such a great, great opportunity. Your class is great. We look forward to the next session!

Rhonda,

I took your mother/baby class when my daughter (Brittney) was just 3 months old. We were starting to get anxious for her first signs, then around 9 months, she just blossomed! "Please" & "all done" were done in the same meal one day! Mike & I were so excited - and so ready to begin teaching her more. After those first 2 signs, it seemed like she picked up a new sign as fast as I could learn them! Now, at 22 months, Brittney has over 350 speaking words, is speaking in 3-5 word sentences, knows more than 30 signs, and links signs together to make sentences! Brittney's ability to sign has made learning how to communicate such a joy! I truly believe she is able to communicate with so many speaking words because of her early understanding of the basics of communication. I feel like your class really jump-started her educational process - not to mention mine, as a first time parent.

We now have an 8 month old little girl, (yes, when you do the math, they're 14 months apart!) Kailee, who just gave us her "milk" sign last week for the first time! Brittney is constantly trying to get Kailee's little fingers into the shapes of the different signs she knows & uses regularly. She especially love's getting Kailee to say "thank you" because the movement of they're hands together on Kailee's face, gets a laugh that only Brittney can summon. I am confident as we enter into new stages with Brittney & re-enter stages with Kailee, that signing will continue to have an amazing impact on how our family communicates. I can't tell you how many compliments we've received about our children, how little they whine, how well they communicate with people they know & even those they don't know (both with ASL & with words), and how confident they are in communicating their needs.

Rhonda, I speak from the heart when I say...what you are doing is an incredible gift you are giving each & every parent that walks through the door to your classroom. It may not seem like something that will last much past the time when they begin speaking clearly - but I truly believe Brittney & Kailee both, will continue to use signs for a long time to come. Brittney will often sign to us when her mouth is full with food or drink - that way we don't correct her for speaking with her mouth full. :-) Sometimes I don't know how they come up with these things! Thank you for your class & the enjoyment it has brought to our family (extending even out the grandparents, aunts & uncles).
