We specialize in providing quality ASL/English interpreting services that satisfy ADA requirements for effective communication and reasonable accommodations. We also offer group ASL classes and individualized private lessons and tutoring. In addition, we offer classes/professional development to companies or agencies, if they desire their employees to have knowledge of sign language. We are currently beginning to add consulting to our repertoire. Stay tuned for updates in 2023.
Our group classes are very popular. Our classes are typically between 10-20 people and run anywhere from 4-10 weeks, with 1- to 3-hour classes each week (please see the individual class flyer for more information). Our classes are typically held at the Apostolic House of Worship, in San Angelo, Texas, which sponsors us. Howard College San Angelo will also be hosting a class in the spring of 2023.
If you are desiring your employees to learn ASL for your company (if deaf or hard of hearing people frequent your restaurant, bank tellers, stores, etc.) to provide a more comfortable environment for your deaf or hard of hearing customers, we offer classes and professional development tailored to your specific needs. Please note: Providing ASL classes to your employees does not replace an interpreter, which is needed for staff meetings, job interviews, filling out legal forms, receiving services from your company, and more. If you are needing interpreter services or would like more information, please contact us at 325-450-5090 or aslhandsup@gmail.com, or fill out the form on the “Request Interpreter” tab.
Our private lessons are developed on a case-by-case basis. Upon filling out the registration form, you will be asked about your current knowledge level and your goal for learning American Sign Language. We will use this information to develop a curriculum plan. You can also indicate how often you want to have a lesson. Most people prefer weekly lessons, but this may not be an option for everyone. We offer monthly, bi-monthly (two times a month), weekly, and bi-weekly (two times a week) lessons. We will also work with your schedule and comfort, offering lessons via Zoom, in-person, mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends.
