Community Center for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing

American Sign Language (ASL) Classes

Our online and virtual ASL classes feature progressive language and comprehension development levels – meaning they build on each other. We highly recommend taking each course in the appropriate level order.

About the Classes

Our ASL classes feature progressive language and comprehension development levels – meaning they build on each other. For this reason, we highly recommend taking each course in the appropriate level order. Questions concerning “testing out” of a level are directed to Rachel Leffel at rleffel@chsc.org.

This is NOT an Interpreter Training Program and is NOT an accredited CE program. However, successful completion of these classes will provide you with a strong, conversational knowledge of ASL.

ASL Class Policy

  • Children 16 years old and younger must get permission from the instructor to attend. Inquire at rleffel@chsc.org
