American Sign Language
Please email bendlanguageinstitute@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Introductory American Sign Language I
Introductory ASL will focus on everyday communication including topics like family, relationships, activities, work, mealtime, feelings, animals, home life and more. We will explore how ASL is not merely “English words on our hands” as well as how important the correct use of facial expressions are and how to use the space around you in storytelling.
Sessions – Winter 2023
Introductory ASL I will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:45-4:45pm from January 18 – March 8 at our institute. Class will not meet from 2/6-2/15. If you have any questions, please email bendlanguageinstitute@gmail.com or call us at 541-728-3022 and we would be happy to help.

ASL for Kids
ASL for Kids will help your children learn the basics of American Sign Language in an interactive and fun environment. Kids will learn how to communicate about family, animals, activities, feelings and more. We will develop our language skills through games and storytelling. This class is designed for students ages 8-12 with limited exposure to ASL.
Sessions – Winter 2023
We are currently organizing small, private groups for ASL for Kids. If you are interested in forming a group or joining a group, please email bendlanguageinstitute@gmail.com or call us at 541-728-3022 and we would be happy to help you get started.
Baby Signs for Families
Learn basic ASL signs with your baby! Signing gives you and your baby tools to communicate basic needs, feelings and more. When babies are able to communicate, they experience less frustration. Signing encourages language development and if continued can help foster bilingualism. Some of the topics we will learn about are feelings, family members, playtime, and food. This course is designed for parents and children ages 6 months to 2 years.
Sessions – Winter 2023
We are offering small private groups this winter as part of our Baby Signs for Families class. If you have a group of families that would like to learn together, please email bendlanguageinstitute@gmail.com or call us at 541-728-3022 and we would be happy to help!
