Sign Language Classes
We offer 3 levels of Sign Language Classes. No experience needed! Level 1 introduces you to the basics, including the alphabet, finger spelling, colors, family signs, food, and weather. Level 2 focuses on expanding your sign language vocabulary and introduces you to other sign language systems and communication methods. Level 3 class sessions focus on words that are the same, but used differently in conversation.
Sign Language Instructor
Carol Robbins is the sign language instructor at the Center for Sight & Hearing. Since 1992 she has taught over 800 students how to use sign language. Carol has been deaf most of her life due to complications of spinal meningitis during her childhood. She was able to communicate by lip reading until she learned sign language at age 23. Carol teaches with a great sense of humor and takes time to make sure her students thoroughly understand the various signs.
