Brooklin, ON (PRWEB) April 9, 2006 -- On April 8th and 9th a small Canadian program offering sign language and music will be introduced to New York.

“We teach our babies to reach up to us when they want to be held, and we instinctively pick them up,” says Sara Bingham. “WeeHands helps parents create other moments like these every day by teaching babies American Sign Language signs. This creates opportunities to teach more language, improve communication, and strengthen the bond between parent and child.”
