An American Sign Language chart is one of the easiest ways to make your classroom more inclusive from Day One. A chart for American Sign Language shows hand signs for letters, numbers, or common classroom words in ASL. These charts welcome everyone to help with communication and learning through seeing. If you’re working with students who are deaf, hard of hearing, non-verbal, or just love learning something new, ASL charts are your best friend. They help: 👀 Support visual learners 🗣️ Promote communication 🎯 Reduce behavior issues caused by misunderstandings 😀 Encourage all students to learn a new skill (because ASL is fun for everyone!) Think of them as morning meeting materials with a bit of extra sparkle, and a lot more inclusion.
