Some of theresources may be accessed free, while others may require a fee. This resource list includes information regarding community-based lessons and classes, which are usually led by members of local Deaf communities through private organizations. The resource list also includes information regarding college credited course work in ASL and/or interpreter training. ASL students work toward becoming fluent in ASL as a foreign language; interpreting students work toward competence in interpreting between ASL and English. This resource list also includes suggested websites where you may find lessons, videos, or apps for learning ASL. This list of resources is not meant to be exhaustive, and will be periodically updated.  \nVDDHH works to reduce the communication barriers between people who are Deaf or hard of hearing and those who are hearing, including family members, service providers, and the public. As part of this mission, our agency responds to requests for information and referrals regarding a variety of topics related to hearing loss including but not limited to assistive technology, communication methods, captioning, hearing aids, interpreting, telecommunications, and sign language.

ASL is the primary language of North Americans who are Deaf, but there are many other signed languages used throughout the world. ASL originated around 200 years ago through the mixing of sign language indigenous to the United States and French Sign Language. ASL is conveyed through hand and body movements, and facial expressions, and has its own grammar, syntax, and  \nvocabulary, which are separate from English.  \nMore information about American Sign Language can be found through:  \nNational Association of the Deaf  \nNAD-National Association of the Deaf  \nNational Institute on Deafness and  \nOther Communication Disorders (NIDCD)  \nWhat Is American Sign Language (ASL)? | NIDCD  \nWikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia  \nAmerican Sign Language-Wikipedia  \nEncyclopedia Britannica  \nAmerican Sign Language (ASL) | Details & History | Britannica  \n","cbCaidgEcwekSWeW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidgEcwekSWeW","pdf",958029,14,"English","# About American Sign Language\n## Community-Based ASL Classes\n## High Schools Offering ASL Classes\n## Colleges Offering ASL Classes\n## Colleges Offering ITP Classes\n# Online Resources\n## Websites\n## YouTube Channels\n## Mobile Apps","[{\"question\":\"Who provides the ASL resource listing for Virginia?\",\"answer\":\"The listing is provided by the Virginia Department for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (VDDHH).\"},{\"question\":\"What types of ASL learning resources are included?\",\"answer\":\"It includes community-based ASL lessons and classes, college credited coursework in ASL, interpreter training information, and suggested online learning resources such as websites, YouTube channels, and mobile apps.\"},{\"question\":\"Are all resources free?\",\"answer\":\"Some resources may be accessed free, while others may require a fee, and some fees may apply.\"}]","2025 American Sign Language Resources in Virginia - Commonwealth of Virginia VDDHH Resource Listing | PDF",1790651712,35]
