Throughout the year, Durham Deaf Services offers Introduction to Sign Language classes open to both children and adults. This course teaches hearing participants basic greetings, fingerspelling, numbers, colours, occupations and more. You will also learn about technical devices used by Deaf people and about Deaf culture. All of our instructors are Deaf and use American Sign Language fluently. A DVD is included in the cost of the course.
Our next session will begin in January 2012.
