Family to Family Weekend provides vocabulary and instruction that enhances their communication immediately! While parents attend workshops, deaf and hearing siblings have a chance to play and learn together in a comfortable learning environment. Families also benefit from sharing their own stories with each other!
ASL Immersion Week ASL Immersion Week is a 5-day immersion program in American Sign Language (ASL) that allows participants to understand how it feels to depend on one’s eyes rather than one’s ears to communicate and interact with the world. There are periods of instruction, including modeling, creative invention, mime, vocabulary, and of course, sentence structure. Students practice with each other, their teachers, members of the NMSD staff, and visiting members of the Deaf Community. On field trips, they try their skills on the Santa Fe population. Participants leave with a more complete understanding of Deafness and an improved ability to communicate in ASL.
