Welcome to My Smart Hands
London! We use 100% ASL signs to
teach parents how to communicate with their hearing
babies. Our classes are full of fun and energy and are
filled will music, games, books and more! Please spend
some time looking through our website. We also offer services to
those with Communication Barriers such as Aspergers,
Autism, Apraxia, Down syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Trauma and
other speech and/or brain disorders such as Aphasia.
American Sign Language (ASL) can be used as an effective
means of communication; whether it is to bridge the gap
between the verbal and non-verbal due to a disorder or for
language development before babies have developed spoken
language. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Charlene. the owner of My Smart Hands London. Laura and her
daughter Fireese at 10 months old! Imagine being able to
learn to communicate with your child before he or she can
speak. Baby sign
language reduces frustration, accelerates
verbal development and strengthens
cognitive skills. It also enhances
child-parent bonding through time spent teaching signs
to your baby. Being able
to understand what they want at an early age, to give them
another language and to strengthen your bond with them are
only a few of the benefits that come with teaching your
child sign language. The use of ASL is not only beneficial for babies but for anyone who does not have a voice. Charlene is passionate about offering a means of communication to those with, APHASIA, AUTISM CEREBRAL PALSY, and/or DOWN SYNDROME. Through the amazing benefits of ASL you can help give anyone a “voice”. What began as an interest in American Sign Language quickly turned into a passion for Charlene. That passion led her to My Smart Hands where she will be able to further share her expertise with others.

THE GIFT OF COMMUNICATION! "Our mission
is to bring a better understanding to
parents, educators and children of the
value of visual communication early in
life. Promoting ASL as part of a dual
language to the hearing community can
act as a bridge to more meaningful
communication in our homes, our schools
and our communities." |
