American Sign Language (ASL) is the language of most Deaf Canadians. It is a visual language made up of specific gestures (signs), hand shapes and facial expressions. It has its own unique grammatical rules and sentence structure.
About our ASL classes:
Canadian Hearing Services, originally called the National Society of the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing, was founded in 1940 by Dr. Harry E. Amoss, Helen McMurrich, Daisy Moss, Lewis Wood, and Dr. Lorne Pierce as “an organization which would further the cause of deaf and hard of hearing people”.
Key to the direction of the organization was to support the value of Deaf and hard-of-hearing persons as productive, contributing and independent members of society.
Innovation, health care and service excellence have always been at the core of Canadian Hearing Services vision: to advance a barrier-free society for Deaf and hard of hearing Canadians.
From its inception, Canadian Hearing Services has played a significant role in supporting and meeting the needs of the Deaf and hard of hearing. Canadian Hearing Services has worked diligently to champion accessibility in the workplace in such sectors as healthcare, education and the legal field.
In addition, as a service provider, Canadian Hearing Services has always strived to provide a broad range of products and services that serve to remove barriers to communication, advance hearing health, and promote equity.
