Hello there! I’m Michelle and I know exactly how it feels to be overwhelmed with the idea of teaching American Sign Language at home. As a home educator, I know you have a lot of different responsibilities and roles to fulfill. In my home, I am a wife, mom, teacher, and guidance counselor. Outside of the home, I am a professional teacher and content creator. I chose to homeschool because I want to provide my children with the very best opportunities and educational experiences. I want to help them lead fulfilling and powerful lives. That is also why I decided to teach them ASL. Learning a second, or third, language expands the language centers of your brain, helps you to understand and connect with different cultures, and can open the door to valuable job opportunities. As a Teacher of the Deaf, and a fluent user of ASL, I knew I wanted my children to experience all the benefits of learning American Sign Language right from the beginning. The problem was, there was very little content out there that was made for school-age children trying to achieve life-long bilingualism in ASL. I was searching the internet and the library for workbooks, videos, and language learning activities. What I found was mainly created for toddlers or college students, and definitely not written in a home-educator-friendly way!
I created this Homeschool ASL Online course with you and your family in mind! You can give your child the opportunity to learn ASL without scouring the internet or learning ASL first yourself. With pre-recorded lessons, personalized teacher feedback, and plenty of monthly opportunities to interact with our learning community, your child will learn ASL from language experts that understand the needs of children. Learning ASL at home has never been easier or more fun!
