Learning a Second Language Doesn’t Have to Be Verbal!
American Sign Language (Asl) Tutoring Services in Grand Rapids, MI and surrounding areas
American Sign Language is a fantastic second language to pick up. It bridges the gap with those who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Signing at a young age can also benefit children who are special needs children.
Children that have special needs are able to use American Sign Language communicate with their caregivers and other people. Children that suffer from Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, aphasia and other language delays and impairments have used the ASL system to communicate with others.
Our ASL tutor can work with children of all ages and abilities, even adults, to help them master ASL as a second language. Lacie and Nadia can help with families with one or more members with hearing impairments to bridge the communication gap. Sessions are all done through video sessions and can be scheduled for 30 minutes or longer.
