A week long program offered by Services for Family and Community Development. Families with children ages 5 to 19 who use sign language for all or part of their communication are invited to come together to share, to learn, and to connect with one another!
Sign language classes, education workshops, activities and outings maximize both parent and child learning. Parents and children will participate in some activities together using the learn-together philosophy and other activities will be focused on parents only/children only.
