WORKING WITH PEOPLE

AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE DOCUMENT OR CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT Have you watched someone use sign language and wished you could understand? American Sign Language (ASL) is a complete language using signs, hand shapes and facial expressions.

The deaf community is a group of deaf people who find cohesiveness in this shared language as well as other cultural values. Ideally, students of American Sign Language (ASL) should be students of deaf culture as well. The ASL class is designed for people interested in learning a sign language, professionals in contact with the deaf community in their jobs, workers, friends or neighbors of deaf people and parents or family members of a deaf person.

The Vista Signing Naturally program prepares you to converse in American Sign Language. This standardized curriculum not only teaches signs but also grammar and deaf culture. This program consists of two levels; each level is made up of three 40-hour courses. Each level is progressively more demanding and requires increasing degrees of skill.

Students will learn a comprehensive understanding of American Sign Language from the alphabet to basic words and concepts, recognizing facial expressions all the way to describing objects and full conversations. Students will learn through a variety of in class activities, games and class discussions.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

Career opportunities may include any situation where conversing with the deaf community is needed.
