Language Description
American Sign Language, in the past, was primarily used solely within the Deaf Community. This has changed dramatically, as it's uses have been found to benefit many other people and in a vast array of situations.
American Sign Language (ASL) is for all people of all ages. ASL is our nation's 3rd most used language, next to English and Spanish. All across the country, it is quickly being accepted and recognized as fulfillment of foreign language requirements in a growing number of colleges and universities.
ASL and other signing systems are used with hearing infants, Special Needs individuals, hearing loss transitioning, research with animals and communication, medical field, preschools, churches and the entertainment industry. The list goes on and new research is proving it's importance in other areas.

Because ASL is kinestetic and visual, younger children are more likely to be fascinated and curious about learning
