ASL 110 – Beginning Language and Culture, Dr. Jones
To satisfy the Global Citizenship pillar requirement, I took ASL 110 with Dr. Jones. Throughout the course, we learned about deaf culture and the fundamentals of communicating in American Sign Language. In my future role as a speech-language pathologist, I may be expected to work with individuals who are Deaf or who have complex disabilities that render them unable to communicate verbally. For such individuals, sign language can be a powerful tool in promoting effective communication. ASL 110 has introduced me to the basic concepts and vocabulary of this language, and I am excited to continue this learning in Dr. Jones’ 210 class this spring.
The most memorable experience during this course was attending a Parent-Child Advocacy event in Richmond, where I was able to interact with members of the deaf community in a somewhat informal context to practice ASL and learn about it’s cultural significance. On this page, the artifact I’ve included is a reflection paper on my experiences at that event.
