So you want to learn sign language?

DEAF Inc. has developed a program designed to introduce you to American Sign Language (ASL) to aid in communication with the deaf or hard of hearing community, and educate those who may be losing their hearing.  DEAF Inc.'s ASL Education program is also beneficial for those who would like to incorporate signs in communicating with babies, and for those who simply want to learn another language. This program is not designed to certify those who are interested in becoming interpreters.

ASL 1, 2, and 3 classes are designed specifically for participant ages 15 and older. Children under 15 may participate but require a parent or guardian to attend class along with child(ren).
