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 individuals of all ages and abilities.
Together, we transform learning environments, organizations and business practices with the power of ASL and its potential to build a more inclusive world.
MEET Your trainer & CEO
Professor Jenny Stewart Ms.Ed
I started this program for educators like you. ASL Professional Development is often boring, out-of-date, and created by trainers with no Deaf culture background or experience. Signing Courses changes that narrative by effectively creating PD with methods that are evidence-based and scientifically-proven.

Empowering Healthcare Professionals with ASL and Deaf Culture Workshops
Unlock Communication. Build Trust. Deliver Better Care.
In today’s diverse world, healthcare providers must go beyond traditional training to ensure inclusive and equitable care for every patient. With over 1 million Deaf individuals in the United States alone, the need for healthcare professionals to be proficient in basic ASL (American Sign Language) and aware of Deaf culture is more critical than ever.

Why This Matters
Better Communication = Better Care
Studies show that effective communication significantly reduces medical errors, improves patient satisfaction, and ensures compliance with treatment plans. When Deaf patients feel understood and respected, they’re more likely to trust your care.
Compliance with ADA Standards
Providing accessible services isn’t just ethical; it’s a legal obligation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Our workshops will help your practice meet compliance standards and demonstrate your commitment to inclusion.
Stand Out as an Inclusive Provider
In a competitive healthcare landscape, offering ASL and Deaf culture training sets your practice apart. Patients notice when providers go the extra mile to accommodate their needs.
What Healthcare Professionals Are Saying
"We’ve seen a measurable improvement in patient satisfaction scores since implementing what we learned in the workshop. I highly recommend this training to all healthcare providers."
– Dr. James L. Family Physician
"As an administrator, I’ve seen firsthand how this training has transformed our team. Not only are our providers more confident in communicating with Deaf patients, but we’ve also received incredible feedback from the community.
