Adult Literacy Program

Adult Literacy Classes

Communication & Language Skills Training Program (CLSTP) for Persons Who Are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or Late Deafened.

TeacherIf you or someone you know needs help in building reading, writing, and basic math skills in order to get a job or move ahead on the job, we offer a structured and individualized program. We are specialists in serving people who have been unable to find employment, or who have missed out on career opportunities and advancement because of inadequate reading, writing, social, and communication skills. Our clients include immigrants from non-English-speaking countries, as well as US citizens who have not yet achieved the reading and language skill levels that they need for employment and for daily life.

Our instructors teach in American Sign Language (ASL) and use the approach called “English as a Second Language.” Our philosophy is to teach American Sign Language (ASL) and printed English by means of a bilingual-bicultural approach. We serve clients with literacy skills ranging from beginning level to more advanced, using both classroom time and our computer laboratory.
