This should be an interesting experience for JD, and, I agree, he will probably learn a lot more than in class. My son, 16, going to be a SENIOR!, took ASL I & II at the local college. He's having trouble finding the ASL III--they haven't offered it lately---maybe next year. He is a fluent signer, but English based, so the ASL classes were a different experience for him. He will probably never be a pure ASL signer, but it's good experience to be exposed to it. Let us know how things go. . . Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
