About Us: Highlands Ranch American Sign Language Therapy
Our Journey Began in 2017
Highlands Ranch American Sign Language Therapy (HRASL) was founded in 2017 with a simple yet powerful vision: to bridge the communication gap between hearing and deaf communities through accessible and accurate information on American Sign Language (ASL). We recognize the importance of ASL as a vital tool for inclusive communication, especially in diverse settings like Highlands Ranch.
Our Mission and Core Values
Our mission is to empower individuals and families in our community by providing reliable resources, education, and support related to ASL and deaf culture. We strive for:
- Accuracy: Ensuring all information presented is accurate, up-to-date, and culturally sensitive.
- Inclusivity: Promoting a welcoming environment for all, fostering understanding, and breaking down barriers.
- Unbiased Information: Providing neutral, evidence-based content, free from any bias or agenda.
Filling the Online Gap
The internet is a powerful tool, yet we noticed a significant gap in resources dedicated to ASL education and therapy specifically tailored for our local community. Many online sources either lack accuracy or fail to address the unique needs of Highlands Ranch residents. HRASL was created to fill this void, offering a one-stop resource center for:
- ASL learning materials for beginners and advanced learners.
- Therapy resources for professionals supporting deaf individuals.
- Community news and events promoting cultural awareness.
Our Target Audience and Commitment
We cater to a diverse range of users, including:
- Parents seeking ASL resources to support their deaf children.
- Individuals interested in learning ASL for personal or professional reasons.
- Therapists and educators looking for reliable materials to enhance their practice.
- Members of the deaf community who value accessible information and connection.
At HRASL, we are committed to providing unbiased, evidence-based content. Our team diligently researches and verifies all information, ensuring it aligns with industry standards and best practices. We encourage readers to engage with us through comments and feedback, fostering a community of learners and advocates for ASL accessibility.
