Introduction to
American
Sign Language
So you want to learn sign language?
DEAF Inc. has developed a program designed to introduce you to American Sign Language (ASL) to aid in communication with the deaf or hard of hearing community, and educate those who may be losing their hearing. DEAF Inc.'s ASL Education program is also beneficial for those who would like to incorporate signs in communicating with babies, and for those who simply want to learn another language. This program is not designed to certify those who are interested in becoming interpreters.
ASL 1, 2, and 3 classes are designed specifically for participant ages 15 and older. Children under 15 may participate but require a parent or guardian to attend class along with child(ren).
The cost of this 8-week program is $75.00. (Participants that are Deaf or Hard of Hearing may be waived their registration fee. Please contact us directly to inquire next steps.)
During the program, you will be introduced to American Sign Language, finger spelling the alphabet, numbers, common courtesy phrases, and basic knowledge of ASL structure. After the completion of each session, a certification of completion will be awarded. In order to receive certification, students must complete end of class evaluation. Those who have received certification of completion of our 1st session may sign up for the 2nd session and the same applies for the 3rd session. The attendance of 6 weeks out of 8 is required in order to receive the certificate of completion.
