Lifestart Northern Beaches Sign Language Workshop

September 1st, 2008

Lifestart Northern Beaches is presenting a two and a half hour ‘Hands Can Talk’ sign language workshop where participants will learn over 80 signs. Fifty of the signs have been selected for their use in day-to-day life and an additional thirty have been chosen  that will add to the beauty of some simple songs. The emphasis is on how to use the signs to facilitate communication between adults and kids and and shows how signing can greatly enhance songs. The workshop is presented by Sign Language Consultant, Tutor & Author Aileen Ryan and is a very good workshop for those just starting in the use of sign or wishing to revise.

The workshop takes place at Lifestart Northern Beaches Centre at 5 Aquatic Drive, French’s Forest on Wednesday 1oth September from 6:45pm to 9:30pm. Refreshments are provided. Cost $25. For further information or to reserve your place contact Pam Mcleod on 9451 9564.
