Testimonials
"I would highly recommend the Tiny Talkers workshop. I had been interested in learning the fundamentals of teaching my daughter to sign since she was born, but felt a little bit overwhelmed by where to start.
Tiny Talker's workshop offered valuable information about the benefits of sign language for babies and their families, how babies learn and how to teach baby to sign. Our daughter is 8 months old and in just the last few days, after working with her for a couple of weeks, we've noticed that she is responding to our sign for the word "milk". We have seen her really focusing on the sign and know it's just a matter of days before she makes it on her own."

"I am a speech-language pathologist who has worked with older children and adults. I took sign language as an undergraduate and had experience with Signing Exact English and ASL. As a new parent I needed help in using baby signs with my infant daughter because I was making it too complicated (e.g. confused about which program to use, introducing too many signs at once and signing complete phrases instead of words). I had a private consultation with Shira. She was extremely organized, caring, positive and knowledgeable. It is clear Shira loves being a parent and is committed to helping others. She assisted me in coming up with strategies to use with the baby and provided clear, easy to implement materials. I highly recommend Shira and her Tiny Talkers program! A workshop and/or consultation would be a meaningful gift for parents and children."

"WE LOVE YOU!! NO MORE SCREECHING!! My partner and I woke up about a week ago, and he said "You know what I just realized? Our daughter hasn't screamed in about three days." It was quite the lovely epiphany. We began working with her as soon as we got back from the workshop. After a full week of consistently using a few signs it was as if a light bulb went off. She got it! She began signing "more" not just for food, but for everything she enjoyed. It was so cute--and such a GIFT! We are talking with our girl!! About two or three days after really getting “more” she started signing for “milk” perfectly and is now doing several more signs. We are now going through the class materials again to brush up on all the other signs you taught us. We truly can't thank you enough. The workshop was possibly the best money we've spent on our sweet daughter since her arrival! Again, tremendous gratitude for your fantastic work in the world."

"I took the Tiny Talker's workshop with my son when he was 9 months old (he's now almost 13 months), and I really liked it. I wasn't sure it would be worth the money, but I think it was! My son is doing a lot of signs now. Shira's class offers some really good ideas for how to incorporate baby sign more into your life, and she has good ideas for ways to teach it."
