D.R.E.A.M.S. Foundation of Acadiana Continues FREE Sign Language Class via Zoom into 2021
The D.R.E.A.M.S. (Disability, Resources, Education, Activities, Management, & Services) Foundation of Acadiana will offer the public free sign language classes beginning on Friday, January 22 at 4pm via Zoom. Classes will be held online every Friday at 4pm. The meeting ID number is 865 4014 5179.
The class will be instructed by Myra Mouton, Special Education Teacher. “There are many benefits to learning sign language. It introduces you to a new culture and community, it helps improve your peripheral vision and reaction time and you can meet new people and make new friends,” commented Mouton.
“We were very pleased with the outcome of our sign language classes via Zoom that we initiated in August of 2020 and we want to continue to offer these learning sessions to the general public, as well as to individuals with special needs. We invite the public to join us as we explore the world of learning sign language in the first session of 2021,” stated Donielle Watkins, Executive Director for D.R.E.A.M.S. Foundation of Acadiana. “We record all of our sessions and they are posted within the Facebook Event so that previous lessons can be watched. However, each session focused on a different theme so lessons can be picked up at any time throughout the year.”
