    Workshop Information: 

    Transitions in ASL-This morning activity will incorporate transitions in ASL.  Students do not always know how to incorporate transitions or know which transition means what, and when to use them. This workshop will review the purpose and when transitions are used. The afternoon activity will incorporate ASL grammar. While most do know how to use ASL grammar, this is a review to make sure that the students will be able to practice approximately 10 different ASL grammar rules as a refresher. Hands on practice will be provided during both parts of the day. This training will be conducted in American Sign Language.  Voice interpretation will not be provided
