Signing Family was developed by Judi Rockhill, a professional sign language interpreter in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area and Philadelphia for over 12 years. Judi and her husband had twin girls born in 2001. They began teaching their own children American Sign Language (ASL) and were amazed at the results. Pretty soon their young children were able to ask for specific things without screaming. As their sign vocabulary grew, so did their speech. And as their children learned to communicate their needs, Judi and her husband realized that the frequency of frustrations and temper tantrums were reduced. Other parents began to notice that this was a hearing and signing family and began to ask Judi to teach their families some basic ASL signs. Signing Family was born.
Judi teaches several group and private classes. For a current class schedule or for more information regarding setting up group or private classes in the Washington DC Metro area please send us an email at info@signingfamily.com.
