This course will teach you the basic steps of developing interactive skills as a health care provider when you face Deaf/hard-of-hearing patients.
American Sign Language is like any other language: French, Italian, Spanish, German; however, unlike these languages, ASL has no written form.
Nevertheless, ASL is comprised of rich body language and facial expressions. As a vital commodity in Canada, the health care system has its share of contact with Deaf/hard-of-hearing patients.
Due to communication barriers, the Deaf community has often struggled with the health care system.
This course will teach you the basic steps of developing interactive skills as a health care provider when you face Deaf/hard-of-hearing patients. You will find this course both fun and interesting.
Course Objectives
We will be selecting 15 Deaf Canadians to be featured in the illustrated book 'Deaf Canadians' in 2022. This book aims to showcase and tell the stories of Deaf Canadians who were able to achieve their goals despite hardships.
Please share this with your friends and people you know. We are looking for Deaf Canadians from all over Canada, of different race, genders, ages, and backgrounds.
Those who are selected will be asked to sign a longer, more detailed video (4 mins) for the book. If you are oral Deaf or not comfortable signing, you can speak or submit a written text and we will interpret it into ASL/LSQ.
Our Mission
To provide educational and collaborative opportunities to build connections between D/deaf* and hearing people.​
Our Vision
A D/deaf* aware and accessible community with opportunities for D/deaf* talent.
​Our Community
A diverse group of volunteers ranging from native ASL users, native LSQ (Langue des signes québécoise) users, ASL students and other hard-working individuals from the Montréal D/deaf* community.
​
In this program, you progress toward ASL fluency, study Deaf culture and explore the cross-cultural issues that arise for non-Deaf people who wish to work with the Deaf community.
During this workshop participants will learn how to sign the alphabet, colors, numbers, animals, foods and basic self-help skills to use with young children.
The course will include introductory vocabulary and grammar, as well as an introduction to Deaf culture.
American Sign Language is designed to introduce a visual-gestural language used by the Deaf Community in Canada and the United States.
This course will enable you to express basic vocabulary in ASL through body movement, gestures, facial expressions, finger spelling and basic signs
