The Importance of American Sign Language (ASL)
American Sign Language is a visual language that utilizes a combination of hand shapes, facial expressions, and body movements to convey meaning. It is the primary language of many deaf individuals and is recognized as an essential means of communication within the deaf community. By learning ASL, you can bridge the communication gap and build meaningful connections with those who are deaf or hard of hearing.
