Signing with Babies and Children, developed by training company Signs for Success, is the first signing course to be accredited on the QCA framework. Designed by Kathy Robinson, it is a level 3 continuous professional development course pitched at level 2 and 3 students. It represents six credits, awarded by Edexcel, which can build towards other childcare qualifications.
The activities on the course are based on British Sign Language techniques. Signs are used as clues to words and children are encouraged to physically enact words. As Kathy Robinson says, 'When children sign, they see, feel, think and do words. The activities improve memory retention and recall and give self-esteem to those who need it.'
