Austin Sign Language School (ASLS), incorporated in 1977 by the late Fran Herrington-Borre, is a non-profit organization which offers quality sign language instruction for adult students, ages 14 and above, in Austin, Texas. NO CHILDREN’S CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE.
Areas of sign language instruction include Fingerspelling, Manual Communication, Conceptually Accurate Signed English (CASE), American Sign Language (ASL), Contact Sign, Interpreter Training, and Deaf Culture. Classes are beginning to advanced but ASLS does not have an interpreter training program. Our courses are not accredited, and we do not issue transcripts.
Austin Sign Language School (ASLS) holds classes on the campus of the Texas School for the Deaf (TSD). Hurricane Harvey has had a devastating impact on 140 TSD deaf students and their families. Many have been displaced and are struggling after the catastrophic storm. TSD is working to get these students to school and a safe residence amid the chaos they’ve experienced. The TSD Foundation has set up a Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund to directly assist these TSD students and their families. Tax deductible donations are appreciated.
