Basic American Sign Language for Healthcare Professionals
About
My name is Ashley Barker. I am a graduate of the University of Mississippi. I obtained a B.S. in Biology with minors in Chemistry, Psychology, and Neuroscience. Most importantly I am hard of hearing. Being involved in the medical field as a hard of hearing premed allowed me to realize the separation of the hearing world and the deaf/hoh world, especially in medicine. I created this website for anyone that has a lack of knowledge of deaf/hoh community and to help individuals learn ASL; in hopes to better themselves as healthcare professionals. I truly believe EVERYONE should learn basic ASL and understand disabilities. Please watch my introduction video for more information.
Happy signing!
P.S. All videos are captioned. I personally captioned all videos myself through Youtube.
DISCLAIMER: This is a website I created as a form of advocacy! Note this is not a class. This is an aid to show you medical signs, spread awareness, and get more people learning ASL! This is no way a replacement for an interpreter or any other ASL services.
