DHHC offers ASL sign language classes in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs/Naples, Lehigh Acres, Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda and online by Zoom technology. Our agency uses "Signing Naturally" curriculum, designed to introduce you to American Sign Language (ASL); to aid in communication with the Deaf and hard of hearing community, and to educate those who may be losing their hearing.
Classes are $75.00 for a 5 week course. There are 5 ASL courses/levels in all. You must be registered to attend a class. Please choose your class below and click to register. You may also purchase all 5 courses at once and receive a 10% discount over the course of the classes. Each course will receive a certificate of completion and ASL 5 will have a "graduation" to celebrate the completion of all 5 levels.
There is a 10% processing fee for refunds (refunds are only if you have not attended any classes). If you choose to pay by cash or check, you must come into the office and pay no later than 24 hours prior to the beginning of the first day of class.
There must be at least 4 paid students registered or the class will be scheduled for a later date. You will receive an email before the class begins.
This program is not designed to certify those who are interested in becoming sign language interpreters.
