Hello everyone!
After a much needed break and time of reflection, I'm happy to update this website with NEW ASL class/workshop information . Moving forward, I'll be stressing the diversity of learners and their needs, CC all videos ( or attach transcripts), and clarify the sign language continuum. This SL continuum chart will be discussed in full detail so that learners know/ understand why voice may be used in class. Students who are brand new, require PSE, will find support via voice helpful as they journey closer to ASL. When this happens, voice will steadily decrease so that they are able to lean and function in a voice off ( immersed) class. While immersion should be the goal if ASL is the target language , it may not support the needs of EVERY student. **Please see the new tab:
" SIGN LANGUAGE CONTINUUM" .
