AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE WORKSHOP

facilitated by Anne & Greg Coppes

Learning American Sign Language (ASL) is a valuable life skill. ASL is a beautifully expressive and complete language that follows its own grammar rules and combines hand gestures with facial expressions and body language to convey meaning.

In this 5-week workshop, participants will develop an understanding of deaf culture and a working knowledge of ASL. After learning phrases and sentences, you will have time to practice with each other.

• Dates: March 2, 9, 16, 23 & April 13, 20, 27
• Schedule: 12:15-1:15pm
• Location: Living Room

In addition to being able to communicate with members of the deaf community, other benefits of learning ASL could be:

• improved spatial reasoning
• enhanced ability to recognize and interpret body language
• improved reaction time and peripheral vision
• enhanced creativity
• protection against Alzheimer’s disease

This program is free for Carlisle Family YMCA members and just $10 for non-members. Registration is required and is limited to 20.
