Expressive Explorers | Language Group for 14-24 months

This group session is designed specifically for Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) toddlers aged 14 to 24 months and their caregivers. This interactive, play-based program offers a rich, supportive environment where American Sign Language (ASL) is the primary language.

Through stories, guided activities, and games, families will be immersed in ASL while learning how to foster early language development and connection. Each session is led by a Deaf language interventionist and an ASL-fluent speech-language pathologist and provides opportunities for both children and caregivers to build linguistic confidence and expand their vocabulary.

We have a camera in the classroom to support observation. Parents/caregivers may attend sessions with their child, or observe their child’s session in real time from another room. Please note that while the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends avoiding screen time for children under age two, we thoughtfully incorporate limited use of a large TV screen for 14-24 months when it serves a clear language purpose, such as providing access to ASL models that support early language development. The intake form gives you the option to let us know whether you're comfortable with screen use. If you prefer not to use it, we won’t include it in your child’s sessions.
