Workshop Details

This six session workshop is intended to teach basic skills of American Sign Language and provide an overview of deaf culture. Students will learn how to start up a conversation with deaf individuals including how to greet, introduce themselves, and ask others who they are and where they are from.

In addition students will learn how to describe objects and each other, numbers 1-30, as well as the American Sign Language alphabet. Components of deaf culture, as well as the basic history of the creation of American Sign Language, will also be included in the workshop sessions.

This workshop is highly relevant for teachers of all levels, early childhood educators, parents and relatives of deaf children, and anyone else who wants to learn basic sign language skills.
