Let's embark on an exciting journey together to explore the rich history of American Sign Language (ASL) and its cultural significance. You will delve into the pivotal contributions of key figures like Laurent Clerc and Abbe de l’Epée, whose efforts laid the foundation for Deaf education and the evolution of ASL. The highlights of the milestones that have shaped the ASL throughout the history are shared with you. We invite you to join us in appreciating the cultural richness it brings to the Deaf community and beyond.

Repetition is the secret ingredient that reinforces neural connections in the brain, embedding vocabulary and grammar into long-term memory. It not only builds fluency, allowing for more natural conversations, but also strengthens understanding of complex structures.

Research highlights that ASL can enhance communication for neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with autism and ADHD. ASL provides a vital alternative for non-verbal individuals and helping reduce frustration and behavioral issues. American Sign Language fosters greater social inclusion and understanding, bridging communication gaps within diverse communities.

Lukas Schwarzenbacher, filmmaker and project manager at the Swiss Association of Deaf Sonos, has put his heart and soul into developing the ASLtrainer. For him, one thing is certain: learning should be fun and empower people. The ASLtrainer has now been awarded two Comenius EduMedia seals.

By learning ASL, you join a movement toward effective communication, linguistic diversity, and advocacy for Deaf rights. The growing global recognition of ASL opens up professional opportunities and enhances personal growth.

Logo design is fun but also extremely challenging. The design process of a logo not only forces us to think about shapes and colors but also the values we stand for and what the goal of ASLtrainer is.

Filming is always an incredible adventure. We already have a small green screen studio for filming Sign Language. But filming is just one of the many steps necessary for successfully creating content for our ASL Lessons.
