This workshop focuses on understanding ASL: What is ASL? How is ASL differentiated from other signing systems? How does ASL compare with English? The case for using ASL as part of a treatment plan and its benefits is introduced, followed by the basics: handshape, movement, and location and how these come together to form meaning. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, is how to use signs in therapy as expressive language targets. Vocab development, how to introduce signs, and how to teach it using Verbal Behavior strategies will be discussed.
