Melissa –
ASL 2 was the end of my son’s 6 years of studying ASL at Thrive and is a perfect culmination of the groundwork laid in the previous classes. I love the class structure for ASL 2. Primarily project based, it focuses on moving beyond vocabulary and grammar into application. With projects like signing a short children’s book, a short song, or a skit seeking medical help, the real world application is a highlight of this class. When my son first started ASL, I was hoping he’d be more aware of people’s facial expression and reactions. He got much more than that from ASL. It has been a fantastic experience that challenged his rigid, following the ‘yellow brick road’ mindset. We’re very grateful for the opportunity he had to take ASL at Thrive. Thank you!
