Class Description:

Often children with autism have difficulty learning sign

language

utilizing traditional approaches. This is due to the fact

that they have

motor planning issues. Motor planning is the ability to

start, perform and

complete a series of movements. This class describes an

approach called

Pre-Sign and Sequenced Sign that teaches sign language by

improving the
