ASL Classes provide a structured environment for students to learn ASL from professional ASL Instructors.
DurationAmerican Sign Language (ASL) is a visual-gestural language created and used by over 2 million d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Canadians and Americans of all ages.
Statistics Canada states that over 1.3 million Canadians aged 15 years and over have a hearing loss.
Of those 1.3 million people, over 350,000 people are profoundly deaf. Many d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing Canadians use ASL to communicate in their daily lives.
ASL Classes provide a structured environment for students to learn ASL from professional ASL Instructors.
The ASL Classes at SDHHS use the Signing Naturally curriculum to help you understand how ASL works and to learn how to sign confidently.
This allows you to feel comfortable communicating in the d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing community ASL users.
