NICC Waukon Center to offer Sign Language class

Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) Business and Community Solutions is offering the two-session class “Beginning Sign Language Plus” Thursdays, October 6 and October 13, from 6-8 p.m. at the NICC Waukon Center, located at 1220 Third Avenue NW.

Designed for parents and caregivers of toddlers or communication-challenged individuals, this two-week class builds a basic 150-word vocabulary in American Sign Language (ASL). Using sign language lessens frustration by giving a baby the tool to clearly communicate specific thoughts, wants and needs before speech has developed.  For those who have taken this class before, this will be a refresher and an opportunity to build on known vocabulary.
