Our Mission Statement:


  • We believe that children with poor language skills are disadvantaged learners.
  • We aim to give teachers, childcare professionals and parents BSL skills and methods to help children that struggle with communicating, reading or spelling.
  • To help parents to communicate with their children before they can speak. Thus reducing frustration and tantrums that children experience because of their inability to speak
  • To promote the benefits of using signs from BSL in Nurseries, Children Centres ad Pre-school programmes for all children
  • To promote the use of BSL signs as a multi-sensory tool to use with songs and to add fun to children’s daily activities
  • To give teachers that struggle with classroom management an additional tool through BSL, which can improve children’s behaviour
  • To promote BSL and Deaf Awareness
  • To support parents with deaf children, or children with speech problems, with training through BSL
  • To raise children’s confidence and self esteem knowing that they can learn to communicate and achieve through the use of BSL
  • Support the use of BSL signs as a bridge for children and parents who’s first language is not English
  • Supports the principles of ECAT (Every Child A Talker) and I CAN (Children’s Communication Charity of which Communicating-Hands are currently part of the advisory group for the 0-3 programme)
