We Can Sign

Awareness to the Community

There are approximately 48 million Deaf or hard of hearing (hh) people in America, this number does not include the countless individuals who struggle to communicate verbally. Most of these individuals feel lost in a sound/speech based world and find communication frustrating and limited. This often leads to social anxiety, shame, loneliness, and social withdrawal. It is our passion to shine a light on this often lonely and isolating journey and offer uniquely designed instructional videos that teach signs and phrases specific to your unique needs. Here at We Can Sign, we realize the tremendous benefit of visual communication. Our goal is to offer sign language video courses that are both motivational and specialized. Our curriculums are thoughtfully created and offered at an affordable price so that everyone has the opportunity to learn.

Is Sign Language for Me?

Do you have a family member, neighbor, co□ worker, friend or acquaintance who has a hearing loss?
Does your child go to school with a Deaf/hh child and wants to communicate with, and include them, in social interactions?
Do you have an aging parent who is losing their hearing and you don't like having to "yell" at them?
Do you work in the service, retail, travel or food industry and want to better serve your Deaf/hh community members?
Does your line of work require you to use a face mask through which lip□ reading is impossible?
Are you a teacher who would like to incorporate sign language into your classroom management strategies?
Are you an emergency or medical first responder and want to know some basic signs to help Deaf/hh people in emergency situations until a certified interpreter arrives?
Is there someone in your life with special needs who has speech or language delays with whom additional communication tools would be beneficial?
Do you homeschool your child and want to offer them the option of learning American Sign Language to satisfy their foreign language requirement?
Do you want to teach your baby/child sign language to reduce tantrums and frustration and to give them a head start on communication skills?
Do you want to learn a second language and love the idea of learning a language that enables you to talk with your hands?
Do you like the idea of being able to talk across a crowded room or in a noisy environment without yelling?
Do you want to prove that you CAN indeed talk with your mouth full? ;)

If you answered YES to any of these questions then you have come to the right place!

Tara was my first American Sign Language teacher over ten years ago. Her ability to navigate the line between the Deaf and hearing worlds was invaluable at time. Learning a new language can be scary, and even trying to communicate with a Deaf person for the first time can feel intimidating, but Tara’s ability to communicate in both English and ASL made the experience so enjoyable and beneficial! We owe much of our language skills and involvement in the Deaf community to her favorable first impression and her fine teaching skills, and I have recommended her to countless friends and community members who want to learn sign language in an affordable and comfortable environment. Ten years later, my daughter’s best friend takes American Sign Language classes from Tara, and we couldn’t be more pleased!

Having been a student of Tara’s to help me learn ASL, I want to thank her for not only teaching us the language, but also of the Deaf Community as a whole. Their mannerisms, their struggles with the hearing world, any the whys of how things are done differently in their culture. I truly love my time in her class and cannot wait to continue on my journey to one day being proficient in the language. Tara herself, is an inspiration of a kind, caring person who did not see her deafness as a challenge, but as a way to use it to help change the way others see deaf people and to educate the hearing. Thank you Tara for all you do!!
