ASL Immersion Academy Program
CLOSED
American Sign Language Immersion Academy is owned and governed by Vineyard 2nd Generation, a non-profit organization ran by the board of directors.
We serve children who are Deaf or hard of hearing, their siblings, and hearing children who want a dual language experience. We strive to provide an environment where Deaf and hard-of-hearing children can learn a language while promoting equality by including all kids regardless of their hearing status.
We are creating an environment where hearing status is not a factor in language acquisition. Due to the lack of resources, most Deaf/Hard of hearing do not begin their language development journey until preschool or kindergarten. A delay like this causes a deficit in language development and sets these kids way behind their hearing peers.
Our primary goal at our American Sign Language Immersion Academy is to provide an inclusive, safe, loving, and secure learning environment for children while they are away from home. Our program is designed to promote the social, physical, intellectual, and emotional growth of Deaf and Hard of Hearing children through learning experiences in a natural language environment that is developmentally age appropriate.
Based on the theory that children learn through play, daily activities explained in ASL will encourage active involvement and meaningful experimentation within a play-like atmosphere while broadening the children's language skills at the same time. Our Pre-school program will be working on Kindergarten readiness while we work on building our curriculum.
