Our campus prides itself on supporting a language-rich environment for our students and staff. Gaining even basic knowledge of ASL is critical to build strong relationships in the home, communicate with your child, and support their academic, social and emotional needs. We hope you will consider signing up for our classes to enrich your ASL fluency and support your child at home.
Sadly, language deprivation is too common for deaf youth and adolescents. A 2017 article from Boston University cites that 90-95% of deaf children are born to hearing parents who don’t know ASL and do not learn the language before the child begins school. Even after the student has enrolled in a school, only 40% of families are using ASL in the home.
Our Spring 2022 Family/Caregiver ASL Classes will again offer a Level I and a Level II class.
We have two options for Level I class and two options for Level II class. When you fill out your registration form, please choose the option that works best for you. Each class does require a minimum number of attendees, so we will reach out to all of you with additional information once we have a better idea if both class times can be filled.
Thank you!
