Family ASL Course:
Daily Routines and Activities
Join a certified Teacher of the Deaf in learning about language development and using sign language to support your child’s growing communication needs.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing children all too often experience language delays and frustrations associated with listening and spoken language. American Sign Language can help provide early and essential access to language for your child.
American Sign Language can be used in addition to spoken language techniques to give your child a well-rounded and strong foundation in language and communication.
In this course you will not only learn different signs associated with different routines and activities in your daily lives but you will also learn strategies and have live discussion on how we can implement it.
Family Sign Language Classes
American Sign Language 1 (ASL 1)
Our American Sign Language 1 course meets once a week for 6 weeks. We offer a session for every season. Days/times of classes vary depending on participants and teacher availability.
This course is designed specifically for families who are beginning their journey with ASL and want to build a strong foundation in visual communication. This introductory course focuses on everyday vocabulary, basic grammar, fingerspelling, and conversational skills that are practical and meaningful for family life.
We offer online self-guided modules to support your learning throughout the course at an additional cost.
$125 per person (+ $25 per person for added modules)
Baby Basics Signs
Our Baby Basics Signs class is a 2 hour session offered once a month.
It is designed for parents and caregivers who want to introduce early communication through simple, effective signs. In this course, you'll learn essential signs to use with your baby during daily routines—such as mealtime, playtime, and bedtime—and understand what signs to use, how to teach them, and when to introduce them based on your child’s developmental stage.
Using sign language with your baby can support early cognitive and language development, help reduce communication-related frustration, and strengthen the bond between you and your child. Regardless of a signed, spoken, or bilingual approach, baby sign language offers a powerful tool to promote early expression and understanding—often before speech begins.
$75 per person
Children under 10 are free!

Emergency and Safety Signs
Our Emergency and Safety Signs class is a 2 hour session offered once a month.
It is specifically designed for families with Deaf and Hard of Hearing children to ensure that they are prepared for critical situations, even in noisy or chaotic environments. This course will teach you essential signs and communication strategies to use in emergency situations when your child may not have access to hearing technology or when they are in environments where sound cues are not reliable.
With a focus on practical, real-world applications, this course will give families the confidence and skills to handle emergencies effectively, making sure that communication remains clear and your child stays safe—no matter the circumstances.
