Sign Language

It is important to be able to communicate with individuals who are hearing impaired or deaf through basic fingerspelling and basic sign language, particularly words relevant to physical education. Effective communication allows individuals to feel more welcome in physical education and improves learning. If you enjoy sign language, I encourage you to enroll in one of several sign language courses offered at CCSU. 1. inger Spell !
