Language Acquisition Activities

Have you visited our social media channels lately?

Each week, ASDC's Social Media Manager Ashley creates a new Language Acquisition Activity that highlights different words with examples of how they are used conversationally in ASL.

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!

Connect with us and see new Language Acquisition Activities each week!
