ASL Total Immersion
Robert is currently teaching ASL Total Immersion programs in Connecticut and Arizona. ASL Total Immersion is the most interactive, comprehensive and effective method of learning American Sign Language (ASL). National leaders from the Deaf community offer a diversity of exposure to the culture and language. It is a week-long intensive sign language program where students are absorbed in American Sign Language and will not have the ability to rely on their voice.

Who Benefits From ASL Total Immersion?

• Professionals with Deaf Clients (doctors, lawyers, clergy, counselors, teachers)
• Vocational Rehab Employees
• Teachers of the Deaf
• Sign Language Students
• Sign Language Interpreters
