Hosting ASL Classes for Families Planning Checklist

Offering ASL classes helps families communicate with their deaf or hard of hearing child and stay connected to the school community. Use this checklist to plan and run those classes from start to finish. It walks you through clarifying the purpose and who the classes are for, scheduling around family availability, choosing accessible and well-lit space, hiring a qualified instructor, offering childcare (which greatly increases attendance), budgeting for materials and hospitality, handling registration and reminders, and gathering feedback to improve next time. Use it as a step-by-step guide so nothing important gets missed.
