This one-credit selective is offered once per semester and will fall within the start/stop dates of Term 1. Ten (10) sessions are scheduled per semester. Students are expected to attend and actively participate once a week in a two-hour session where a teacher from the School for the Deaf will teach American Sign Language (ASL) and guest speakers will cover topics like speech training, causes of deafness, prevention of deafness, and knowledge about hearing aids. This will add to each session an element of theory and practical information related to deafness. Students are expected to practice their acquired sign language skills with each other between sessions and demonstrate some of their skills during each session.
