Sing, sign, read, and play together as you learn basic American Sign Language in this engaging, interactive storytime-based class. Designed for kids and grownups all ages to learn together, this series will teach basic ASL vocabulary and grammar through stories, songs, and fun activities, while also sharing information for caregivers on how to integrate signs into family life for richer communication and a more peaceful environment. Session one will cover introductory signs; topics of later sessions will be determined based on a survey of participant needs but may include food signs, family signs, safety signs, animal signs, and more.
