Would you like to be able to communicate better with a deaf family member?
ASL Classes for Families of Deaf Adults is a sequence of four short courses and is for people who have a family member who is 18 years or older, deaf, and who uses American Sign Language as a primary means of communication.
The course introduces vocabulary and grammar of ASL as well as Deaf culture to assist students to enhance communication among their family members.
This is also a great opportunity to network with people who share similar experiences.
Application fee, tuition fee, and cost of a text package are subsidized by the Grand Lodge of B.C. and Yukon.
