Research shows that the best way to build language is to participate in ongoing give-and-take dialogue.

INTRODUCING
THE DEAF LANGUAGE MODELS
They live all over the United States and have a variety of backgrounds. We want you to be exposed to different styles of ASL. We all have various backgrounds and no two deaf signers are the same. No matter how long you've been signing, you'll always be learning new things!

WE KNOW YOU ARE BUSY WITH LIFE.
COME WHATEVER DAY AND TIME FITS YOUR SCHEDULE.
Our "all-you-can-sign" program allows you to come as often as you like and when your schedule allows! We provide classes throughout the whole day from morning to night time. We have deaf language models all over the United States and have different schedules to make it work for everyone.
WHAT MAKES THE SIGNING ROOM SHINE?
Everyone learns at a different pace on their journey from a beginner to an advanced signer! We destroy the traditional learning model and focus on learning through exciting and engaging conversation. We strongly believe in practical learning instead of formal and structured teaching. Our unique method accelerates people's growth faster than the traditional classroom style.
However, we don't teach beginning ASL such as the ABC's and starting vocabulary.
Once you have your basics under your belt, you are ready to explode your language with us in the Signing Room.
AM I READY?
If you know a lot of vocabulary and know the basics of signing, then you are capable of making basic conversation. You are ready for The Signing Room.

I can't believe the progress I've made in short amount of time! I've learned more in 1 month of the Signing Room than I have in 2 years of ASL classes! Mind Blown!

I just completed the “5 Days of ASL” with the Online Itinerant and I learned so much. The pacing was great, the lessons were captivating, and the content was extremely relevant. My greatest take-away was remembering to see the world visually when signing. After all, you can see so much more detail when you place things in space as opposed to signing the prepositions! I HIGHLY recommend this one of you are learning or brushing up on your ASL!

(Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing)
Within a few weeks of my granddaughter's birth, we learned that Hannah is deaf. She is two years old now and is the only deaf member of our family. Her parents, two sisters (ages 9 and 4), an aunt, and my wife and I started learning ASL, mostly online, once her deafness was confirmed. My ASL journey commenced with an online tutor that used a college textbook to cover ASL 1 and 2 with me. After completing this I joined the Signing Room. The DLMs have been a great help and I have enjoyed interacting with each of them. It has also been a confidence builder to be able to communicate in ASL with my fellow hearing students. It can be slow at times but it is very encouraging to know that we can communicate with each other in ASL. This has motivated me to continue on the ASL journey for not only Hannah but for the new friends I've met within the deaf community.

Thank you Stefanie and Shawn for the time and energy you put into our 5 Days ASL class! I learned some new valuable content such as how to sign time tenses (past, present, future) and was reminded of the importance of facial features while signing and showing emotion. What I really took away from this 5 Day class (plus my past phone conversation with Stefanie), however, is just how much I wanted to spend more time with Shawn and Stefanie. Wow! Despite being a recorded online session they both just made me want to hang out with them and sign more. They were genuine in their excitement to teach me more signing techniques and I felt encouraged and welcomed in this space. Thank you! I’m eager to work together more as my family and I work towards ASL fluency.

It is only one hour but it's packed with opportunities to learn ASL receptively and expressively non-stop. The hour goes away like 10 minutes leaving me hungry for more.

As I prepared for the NIC while stuck at home during COVID, it helped to keep me signing as I was unable to attend events, and while I had no signing students for the summer! It’s a really well-designed program and I really enjoy it.
I have also recommended it to some former colleagues and ASL students that I think would benefit!
- Rachel (Interpreter)
There's nothing like using a language you are trying to learn. Practice with other signers outside the classroom is the hardest thing to come by, and this format provides just enough structure to drive really focused practice. Bringing it into the home makes a huge difference - deaf meetups in our area take place in the evening or on college campuses, but childcare and bedtimes can be a barrier!
- David (Parent)
I like that there are different levels for people to go to the room and feel comfortable with whatever their signing level is. It builds confidence with my signing skills as well as teaching me new signs.
- Michelle McGill-Vargas (DHH Teacher)
The Signing Room helps improve both receptive and expressive skills and is a "safe" place to be as you learn. Plus you make friendships with people all over the world.
- Marlene (DHH Teacher)
Hi Stefanie! I just want to report that I passed my EIPA (taken in June)! I received my results this afternoon! Furthermore, I want to thank you for the month of the Signing Room. It was the bulk of my prep and I’m so grateful to you and the Deaf Language Models that I worked with last May!
- Jennifer (Interpreter)
I like the weekly topics, signing tutorials, and the DLMs are awesome and supportive. I especially like the scheduling and the reminders to help keep me on track. It has also been nice meeting other people working towards the same goal. Thanks for providing such an awesome program!
