Come enjoy three days full of instruction and challenging messages.  ASLI is intended to help church interpreters and deaf ministry workers improve in sign language skill and ability, while challenging them to be more effective in the deaf ministry.  Teaching is conducted in voice on the intermediate and above level.  All signers are welcome. 

A separate track for beginners teaches over 300 basic signs, ABCs, and several Deaf Culture points.  No previous knowledge of sign language is required.

Combined Deaf/hearing sessions will either be conducted in voice and sign language using simultaneous communication, a voice interpreter, or a sign language interpreter.
