Our mission is to support yours
At Signing Courses, our mission is deeply rooted in respect for American Sign Language, a gift entrusted to us by the Deaf community. We aim to empower businesses, educators, children, and families by promoting inclusion, communication, and accessibility through the integration of Simple Sign Language.
Our evidence-based resources and professional development equip educators to use Simple Sign Language as a bridge to foster connection, language development, and equity for hearing and Deaf children of all ages and abilities.
