Sign language can give children the tools to help them express themselves effectively&; with fewer emotional outbursts caused by frustration!

• enhance classroom management and ease transitions,
• support positive social behavior,
• teach language and literacy,
• help children learn impulse control,
• assist children in expressing emotions and needs, and
• create peaceful learning communities
