Which is the best online website for American Sign Language? Please help.?
Hi!!
I am planning to learn American Sign Language to help the deaf community especially children. Could someone guide me about the best websites about the same. I know the best way to learn this unique language is to get involved with the deaf community itself or take some formal classes, but due to visa and cost issues, I can't volunteer and take classes either.
Thanks in advance.
There is aslpro.com, signingonline.com.
both are pretty good.
in which career do you help out the most? Speech language pathologist or sign language interpreter?
Which one has an opportunity of increasing the chances of improving and changing the lives of others?
By far, speech-language pathologist. Because in that occupation you need to be able to give voice therapy (hoarse people, etc.), stuttering/stammering therapy, aphasia (post-stroke) therapy, dyslexia therapy, dysphasia therapy, articulation therapy, dysarthria therapy, examine and treat swallowing disorders, guide people to use alternative/augmentative communication methods, work with hard-of-hearing/cochlear implant users, work with autistic/mentally retarded people, people with cerebral palsy, evaluate & treat children with delayed/deviant language development, work with premature babies (feeding/language development) as well as with children with cleft/lip palate problems (feeding/speech development), etc.
Learning American Sign Language in Jersey City?
Are there any classes for American Sign Language in the Jersey City/Hoboken area? I’m interested in learning to sign, and Google hasn’t turned anything up for me.
many churches or community centers offer ASL classes. Also look to see if the Community Colleges in your area have classes in it, many do. Here is a great website for ASL and will help you learn some. We used it when I took ASL in college.
