Are you looking to build your ASL skills in a flexible and family-friendly way? ASL for Families offers a combination of self-paced resources and live virtual sessions to support language learning in everyday life.
Each month, families receive weekly email resources that introduce ASL vocabulary, stories, and practical activities connected to seasonal themes and daily routines. These are complemented by optional live Zoom sessions led by Deaf/Hard of Hearing Mentors, where families can practice, connect, and learn together in a supportive environment.
This program is designed to help families integrate ASL into meaningful, real-life interactions—through play, storytelling, routines, and shared experiences—while building confidence and connection over time.
In this program you will have opportunities to:
- Learn and practice ASL through weekly themes, stories, and hands-on family activities
- Build signing skills that support communication during daily routines and special moments
- Connect with Deaf/Hard of Hearing Mentors and learn through modeled interactions
- Participate in optional live sessions to practice, ask questions, and engage with other families in a welcoming community
Language: ASL with English translation available
Facilitator: Education Support Specialist – Deaf/Hard of Hearing Mentor (ESS-DHH Mentor)
