Welcome to the Signing Time Academy Blog!

The mission of the Signing Time Academy is to provide signing education and support to families everywhere.  When we opened the Academy a little over a year ago, our first task was to attract and train a team of well-qualified instructors to teach ASL classes using Signing Time materials.
