About Us: Englewood American Sign Language Therapy
Our Story
Founded in 2017, Englewood American Sign Language Therapy (EASLT) was established with a vision to bridge the communication gap between hearing and deaf communities through accessible and accurate information on American Sign Language (ASL). We believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to understanding and embracing diverse forms of communication.
Our journey began as an online platform dedicated to providing reliable resources for ASL learners, enthusiasts, and professionals alike. Over the years, we’ve grown from a small team of passionate sign language advocates to a thriving community of experts and supporters.
Mission and Purpose
At EASLT, our mission is to democratize access to ASL education and promote cultural understanding through unbiased, comprehensive, and easily accessible online resources. We strive to be the go-to source for everything related to American Sign Language, ensuring that information is accurate, up-to-date, and presented in an engaging manner.
Our core values revolve around inclusivity, accuracy, and community:
- Inclusivity: We aim to create a space where everyone, regardless of their background or proficiency in ASL, feels welcome and supported.
- Accuracy: Our top priority is providing reliable information that reflects the latest developments and best practices in ASL education and therapy.
