Since Florida has one of the largest deaf communities in the U.S. you will encounter a deaf or hard-of-hearing person rather sooner than later. Learning at least basic American sign language can help any business or service provider deal with members of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community more effectively. ASL also helps communicate with autistic or speech impaired individuals. The Deaf Service Bureau of West Central Florida offers 10-week-long ASL courses for various levels of competence. Our deaf instructor, Franklin Smith, will not only teach you the basics such as the alphabet and numbers, but he will also give you a better understanding of deaf culture to clear up any misperceptions.
His amazing talent of lip reading and his eloquence have allowed him to teach ASL to hearing family members of deaf children with great success. You can contact Franklin with any questions via email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Our next ASL course will run from Feb.8- April 11, 2012 on Wednesday nights from 6-7:30 p.m. at our Tampa office inside the Hillsborough County Family Justice Center for only $45. You can also pay $20 for 5 sessions or $5 per class. All proceeds from this course will help support deaf community programs in West Central Florida. Please RSVP and pay here via Paypal:
