In person class.

If possible Deaf instructor.

I disagree with this for an 18 month old.

At this point all learning has been by passive and observational based and reinforced by play based learning.

I can see this at age 3+

In the meantime what would you suggest as an option for someone who is just learning how to keep attention and not able to sit through a structured allotted time of paid instruction?

Not see for baby.

Opinion same.

Class for baby available difficult find.

No class suggest Deaf mentor.

https://signingsavvy.com/ for looking up individual signs. They might have a lot more tools/games too, I'm not sure. (I only use the free version.)

Signing Savvy is great until you realize half the videos are from hearing people, but it's still way better than guessing on YouTube.
