Total Immersion Sign Language Program
Adult program (19 years or older): July 13 - 18, 2004
High School Program: August 23 - 27, 2004

Washington School for the Deaf (WSD) offers a Total Immersion Sign
Language Program - a weeklong immersion program designed for parents of
deaf children, professionals working with deaf people and individuals wanting
the experience of learning a new language.

Program participants ranging from beginning to advanced level signers are
assessed and divided into ability groups upon arrival by a professional team
of ASL instructors. Using an educational format designed specifically for adult
learning theories, participants will experience a variety of classes, seminars,
simulation exercises, guest panels, hands-on activities, performing arts and
applications of their newly learned skills. All participants are encouraged to
start off using any comfortable type of manual communication (gestures, mime
and basic sign) for the express purpose of learning and developing skills in
ASL in a natural environment. Clock hours and Continuing Education Units
are available for this program.

To learn more about the Total Immersion Sign Language Program, please
call 360.696.6525 ext. 0411 (V/TTY) or (800) 613-4228 ext. 0411 (within WA).
