Sign language curriculum for high school
My son is currently taking the Mr. D Math online ASL 1 curriculum and it is absolutely fantastic. Check out our Mr D ASL review we have just completed it. My son loved it so much that we will be doing ASL 2 in the summer.
There are three ASL courses and we will take them all. I will write a detailed review on this soon and add the link, but we highly recommend it. What I love about these courses is that you learn about deaf culture and the deaf community.
If you feel that your child has come as far as they can, why not enroll them in an online class via Outschool? It will certainly help with conversational signing. Check out our Outschool review first, but we love them.
