I have been fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) for 10 years and have studied the language for 16 years. I have my double certificate in ASL from International Open Academy and am heavily involved in the Deaf community in my area. I love children, ASL, and reading! I am excited to expand my knowledge to your children through this exciting course!
Each student should have a camera on during this so that I can help them with the correct hand-forms. If the student does not want their face seen, they may angle the camera to only show their hands.
