We have the classes, resources, and supportive community that will help you, your child, and your family learn ASL in an easy and fun way!
Hey there, I’m Michelle!
I've been signing American Sign Language since I was 8 years old.
I love ASL. I love the Deaf Community and Deaf Culture.
I love to see the impact that learning ASL has on the lives of children, adults, and families.
I believe that anyone can learn ASL and that there is more than one way to learn any language. It's my mission to help more people learn, not just to sign, but to really communicate and connect with ASL, and I want to help you experience the joy that signing can bring into your life.
I create ASL courses that support multi-sensory language learners and help people of all ages to communicate with their friends, children, and members of the Deaf community.
What our Students are Saying...
"Before I would gaze in amazement when I saw someone signing and see how beautiful it looked, wondering what they were saying. Now that I have taken the course and learned the basics, I have a better understanding of it."
Helen O'Connell
"As someone experiencing hearing loss, I have gained confidence from this course. I feel more secure about my ability to communicate. Start now!
It's a wonderful course that you can
fit into your life easily."
Kristy R.
"Stellar ASL was more than just learning vocabulary, I actually learned to have real conversations. We also learned sign variations so we can understand different signing styles. Office hours and video feedback for homework were invaluable! They gave me the confidence to make mistakes (without fear of judgment) and try new signs, rather than playing it safe. Definitely feel it helped expand my vocab."
Yari A.
"Easy to follow lessons built in small pieces that allow for frequent practice sessions. She creates building blocks but incorporates spur of the moment lessons during live courses. And all the lessons and recorded classes are yours to keep and review! She cares about her students being able to communicate within the deaf culture--even if we're not deaf! Will definitely continue my ASL learning path with Michelle!"
Stephanie A.
"Loved the finger spelling pdf. Nice to have a list of letter combinations to practice already created. Also enjoyed that the videos give a lot of information that is helpful to someone first starting out but was not too dry that someone with some knowledge isn’t bored."
Isis
"Take it you will love it ! The teacher is awesome. I learned the correct placement of fingers, not squeezing them together as I was shown prior to seeing this course. It was learning and seeing the L to Y combination but I will practice doing it."
M.
"Quick to respond to questions. Personable."

10 Reasons Why Baby Sign Language is a Parenting Game-Changer
Introduction:
Are you considering introducing American Sign Language (ASL) into your family's life but aren't sure about the benefits? You're not alone. Many people wonder how ASL can impact their family dynamics, children's development, and overall communication. In this blog post, I'm sharing the top 10 transformative benefits of incorporating ASL into your family life. From cognitive development to enhancing social interactions, you'll discover the reasons why ASL is more than just a language—it's a life-enhancing skill for everyone involved. Let's get started!
1. Boosts Cognitive Development in Children
One of the most compelling reasons to start signing with your baby is the positive impact it has on cognitive development. Research shows that early exposure to ASL can enhance your child's language skills, setting the stage for better academic performance later on.
Key Takeaway: If you're looking to give your child a cognitive head start, ASL is an excellent tool to consider.
2. Complements Learning of Other Languages
Contrary to popular belief, learning ASL doesn't get in the way of the acquisition of spoken languages. In fact, studies have consistently shown that ASL can serve as an asset, enriching your child's language development journey.
Key Takeaway: Worried about language confusion? Don't be. ASL can actually enhance your child's ability to learn other languages.
3. Enables Early Communication
ASL provides a unique way for babies to express themselves long before they are physically capable of talking. This early communication not only fosters better parent-child interaction but also contributes significantly to a child's emotional development.
Key Takeaway: Why wait for their first spoken words when you can communicate with your baby now? ASL bridges the communication gap.
4. Reduces Frustration and Enhances Emotional Well-being
For children with developmental delays, ASL can be a game-changer. It offers a way for them to express their needs and emotions, reducing feelings of frustration and helplessness.
Key Takeaway: ASL is not just a language; it's an emotional lifeline for children who need it the most.
5. Expands Social Interactions
ASL isn't just for family communication. It also opens doors for your child to interact with other adults and children who are familiar with the language, broadening their social horizons.
Key Takeaway: Expand your child's social circle and community engagement through the power of ASL.
6. Fosters Independence
ASL provides children with the tools to express their needs and wants clearly, enabling them to have some control over their own lives.
Key Takeaway: Empower your child with the gift of independence through ASL.
7. Adapts to Individual Developmental Needs
The speed at which children acquire ASL skills may differ due to their unique developmental paths. But regardless of the pace, the benefits of ASL remain consistent and rewarding.
Key Takeaway: ASL is a flexible tool that adapts to your child's unique developmental needs.
8. Offers Long-term Benefits
The advantages of learning ASL aren't limited to early childhood. As your child grows, ASL continues to serve as a valuable communication tool your child can use in your extended community.
Key Takeaway: Invest in a skill that grows with your child.
9. Strengthens Family Bonds
Integrating ASL into your family routine can be an enriching experience for everyone involved. Families who have embraced ASL report overwhelmingly positive impacts.
Key Takeaway: Make family time more meaningful with the inclusion of ASL.
10. Transforms Lives
The benefits of ASL go beyond scientific evidence. It adds a personal touch to your family's life, making the learning journey a transformational experience for everyone.
Key Takeaway: ASL is more than a language; it's a life-changing skill that benefits the entire family.
