american Sign Language

At the Deaf Children's Society, we believe that any child will thrive given accessibility to a complete, rich and natural language early in life.  American Sign Language (ASL) provides complete access to language.  There are many benefits associated with signing with children.

Individual Family Sign Language Lessons 


Sign language lessons are provided to the family and extended family at our Burnaby center.  These fun and enjoyable lessons are offered on a weekly or bi-weekly basis according to the family's needs. Our qualified Deaf instructors will provide sign lessons that meet the day-to-day communicative needs of the family, with basic sign language vocabulary to start, working up to sentences, stories and curriculum to keep up with your children!  Sign Language instruction is also available on an Outreach basis and online.
