They have two groups. One for kids under 3 and one for kids between 3 and 5. You do not need to be receiving services from Rubino in order to sign up for the sessions. I'm not sure how much they cost but anyone interested can contact the center.

Sign Language

Signing Times DVDs are a wonderful way to introduce the entire family to sign language.  They are fun and include great songs to practice your signing.  Since speech is typically delayed in children with Ds, it is great to give them another way to communicate until their speech is stronger.  http://www.signingtime.com/
