Learn Sign Language

Traditionally, we always have someone that want to learn sign language. Many times, they had to ask around to get some information where they can go and learn just for fun or professionally career.

In Texas, many high school do offer sign language class and as well as many college & universities. Also, many local such as church, private business and organization, also offer all types of classes. If they offer deaf culture class, you should consider and take it. It will give you better depth of understanding deaf community. We also have ITP/ASL list program in this list.

Note: Many public library have deaf-related & sign language books and videotape. Don’t forget to check it out, too!
