• Have you always been curious about American Sign Language?
• Would you like to learn how to better work with your Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients or patients?

You will learn how to introduce yourself, how to ask some basic questions, and receptive skills to understand another person’s introduction. You will also learn how to work effectively with a sign language interpreter, and best practices to become a more culturally-competent provider for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
