ASL Classes
American Sign Language I-IV classes are offered at DHHS – Grand Rapids and DHHS – Muskegon twice a year (September-December and February-May).
Most people who take ASL classes are parents, neighbors, employees, employers, or friends of a deaf individual or they simply are interested in sign language! The course runs for 12 weeks at a time.
The fee is $125 for the session plus $30 for the sign language book which covers ASL I-IV.
ASL I – learn ABCs, numbers, names, family, and sentence structures
ASL II - learn advanced vocabulary and introduction to deeper concepts with ASL
ASL III – learn classifiers, pronouns, dialogue and sentences
