- Interact with deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing professionals
- Learn more about deaf culture and the deaf community
- Be exposed to the difference between American Sign Language (ASL) and English Sign Systems

Instructors are deaf and hard of hearing professionals or certified interpreters. Certified interpreters are highly qualified, holding BEI Level IV, V, or Masters certification.
