Have you visited our social media channels lately?

Each week, ASDC's Social Media Manager Ashley creates a new Language Acquisition or "Guess the Sign" Activity that highlights different words with examples of how they are used conversationally in ASL or what the sign and fingerspelling is!

The American Society for Deaf Children firmly believes in enriching a Deaf child’s vocabulary by developing a solid social foundation; therefore, Language Acquisition and Family Involvement are essential growth elements! Learn more from ASDC!
