ASL Action

While hearing children and adults are being exposed to ASL in ever increasing numbers, an ever decreasing number of Deaf children are given that opportunity.

Though ASL Tales intends to make a difference by giving all Deaf children access to these books, we know that a great effort is required to ensure that ASL continues to thrive. We encourage you to explore the links of these organizations and contribute with your time and/or dollars to their work.
