Welcome to ASL
It is with gratitude that we are able to offer free American Sign Language classes to the members of Church of the Advent, St. Thomas Deaf Church, and members of the community.
The classes will teach you some basic signs in ASL. In ASL I you will learn the alphabet, numbers 1-100, and some basic words.
It is our hope to offer a ASL 2 class in the future.
These classes are intended for adults at this time, but in the future we hope to offer them to older children.
Your instructor will be Ron Selinger, who is a member of St. Thomas Deaf Church and is an instructor at University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) and Maryville University.
Ron is a graduate of Lindenwood University in theater and has attended Gallaudet University, a university in Washington, DC for the advanced education of deaf and hard-of-hearing students.
