The Presenters' Network is a group of instructors coordinated and supported by Sign2Me®/Northlight Communications for the purpose of raising awareness about the benefits of using signs with preverbal infants. The Presenters' Network is for qualified individuals who want to provide classes, workshops or consultative services for families, caregivers, and childcare providers. Presenters help share the benefits of signing while earning money as independent business owners through class fees and product sales.The Presenters' Network is comprised of a diverse group of individuals – signing parents, educators, Speech-Language professionals, ASL Interpreters, native ASL users, medical practitioners, childcare providers, and many others – throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. These individuals have been responsible for introducing and mentoring tens of thousands of parents, caregivers, and other professionals since the Presenters' Network was established in October 2000.
Before becoming an approved Presenter, each candidate must meet a rigorous set of qualifications and prerequisites. Sign2Me® has developed a tiered certification process to reinforce these high professional standards and help interested parents and organizations evaluate the quality of services provided.
Level I Certification
Presenters who have achieved their Level I Certification have demonstrated a competent knowledge of frequently-used signs and strategies for incorporating signing into daily routines.

Note: Due to the high level of interest in becoming baby sign language educators, we have already established a large network of Presenters in the United States and Canada. We are still accepting applications; however, priority is being granted to those candidates in geographically under-represented areas. Be aware that the approval process may take up to sixty days to complete.
