International Day of Sign Language

September 23rd is International Day of Sign Languages! Sign language is as diverse as the community that uses it to communicate and the accessibility it provides is something to celebrate. Here are some facts about sign language:  


  • American Sign Language (ASL) is not a universal language, there are more than 300 sign languages used throughout the world.  
  • There is no written form of ASL and it’s grammatically different from English.  
  • While using sign language, facial movements are part of grammar. Changes in facial movements and hand position can change the whole meaning of a sentence.  
  • Name signs are shortened versions for someone's name that does not require full finger spelling.  


Interested in learning more about ASL? There are plenty of resources including online videos. You can check out the video below for some ASL basics!
