Parent, Teacher, and Community Resource on Sign Language

    American Sign Language is a language that is near and dear to me. I am not Deaf or Hard of Hearing. I teach and work with children whom rely on Sign Language to communicate with other students. Some of the students might use American Sign Language and others use more of Signing Conceptually Accurate or most commonly known as PSE.
 
     As an Educator of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, I am constantly asked for good resources to learn sign Language.  Here are some resources and suggestions:

1.  Check out a community college or university near your house.  Many will offer a class in American Sign Language.
2. Some local churches will provide sessions and methods to learn.
3. Check out your local library for class options.
4. Ask about Deaf Socials.  Even with 1 and 2, this is the best way to grasp the language.
5. Dictionaries (books and online resources). 

The best online resource I have found is
