"I know deaf people. I have discussed the issues with them I've also thought about them a lot so I have some insights that go a little further than people who haven't had contact with the deaf community."
-Richard Masur, actor.
ASL Class
Deaf Communication by Innovation and Deaf Quest, Inc are proud to announce the expansion of its services to include instruction in American Sign Language (ASL). Our instructors are native ASL users, who are screened and personally selected by Raymond Rodgers, a native ASL user, who holds degrees from Gallaudet University and Loyola University, and is the founder and CEO/President of Deaf Communication by Innovation (DCI), the only Deaf-owned & operated communication services agency in Illinois. Class size is limited to only 18 students to ensure individual attention and training.
American Sign Language (ASL) is the primary language of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities in the United States and Canada. Whether you have Deaf co-workers or customers, friends or family, or you are simply curious about signing, our course will introduce you to the basics of this visual style of communication. You will build your sign vocabulary and begin to understand ASL's unique grammar, while becoming acquainted with aspects of Deaf Culture.

DCI and Deaf Quest are excited to announce about our new additionals to our current ASL Instruction service: One on One ASL Instruction, ASL Tutoring and Video Instruction/Tutoring. Starting today, we are available to provide those three new additionals. Please do feel free to contact us for more information about our new additionals.

DCI decided to switched our materials to "ASL at Work", because it contains current signs and it also got a better learning/teaching structure compared to our previous materials. AND it comes with an excellent DVD that includes a list long of different exercises. Our instructors are excited to start using the new materials because they find them more amusing, effective and a lot more sense.
