Looking for Baby & Toddler Sign Language Classes in Toronto and Richmond Hill?

You’ve Come To The Right Place!

Mabel Contreras-Wong is a proud mom to two signing boys Phoenix, 3 years and Talon, 1 year. She has a Diploma in Early Childhood Education from Seneca College and continues to learn ASL with the Canadian Hearing Society. Mabel is familiar with the benefits of using American Sign Language because of her experience as an Early Childhood Educator and an Educational Assistant for those with special needs. Mabel has been an educational assistant with the Toronto District School Board for 10-years and is also a part-time student at Ryerson University in the Disability Studies Program.

Along with her husband and son, Mabel was also a student in a WeeHands class. "I believe it is important for families to learn to communicate with their babies in order to decrease future frustrations and negative behaviours. My hope is also to bridge the gap between the Deaf and hearing culture. It's exciting thinking that this social change could possibly start with our children!"

Mabel Contreras-Wong has achieved Sign2Me Presenters' Network Level I Certification, an official acknowledgement of their proficiencies and high professional standards. Click here to learn more about Sign2Me Presenter Certification.
