American Sign Language is the fourth most commonly used language in America, and learning ASL is multi-faceted in its benefits! The information presented in this American Sign Language course will be useful in numerous ways, such as:
  • Communicating effectively with friends, family, students, or business associates who are deaf or hearing-impaired
  • Communicating with babies and small children
  • Promoting cultural awareness and cross-cultural understanding
  • Learning new languages that help exercise your cognitive process and promote creative thinking, problem solving, and mental flexibility
  • Creating open new employment opportunities or helping you earn needed PLUs or CEUs
  • Becoming a volunteer in the community that can help others
American Sign Language will provide an introduction to deaf culture and manual communication. This four-week course will address a range of topics and include activities for receptive and expressive practice such as games, videos, and partner/group work. This course is instructed by Aleah Brock, M.Ed., CCC-SLP (UWG Faculty).
