What is ASL?

American Sign Language (ASL) is a visual language comprising specific gestures (signs), handshapes and facial expressions. The signs follow grammatical rules. It is the official language of the Deaf community in Canada. Deaf people have their own culture. In the past, course standards did not include learning both ASL and Deaf culture.
Deaf Access Simcoe Muskoka offers part time courses using the Signing Naturally curriculum as used in many organizations across Canada and the United States.
