Students Success Stories
Bill and Laura know how to make learning fun! They are great teachers without taking themselves too seriously.
Elizabeth Stubbs
Bill and Laura demonstrate signs clearly and are always willing to help students and to answer questions. They use a variety of methods to teach students including in-class activities which encourage conversing using ASL; discussion of Deaf culture; and offering optional events such as ASL Games and ASL Community Gatherings which immerse the student in ASL and Deaf culture. Bill and Laura are very personable and patient and I highly recommend them as teachers for anyone wanting to learn ASL!
Gail
Blue Ridge ASL Services has been amazingly helpful for our family! All members of our family are hearing and wanted to learn more about Deaf Culture while learning ASL. Bill and Laura have been so patient and kind with us throughout the learning process. They have made our 5 year old son feel welcome in class with us, and have helped him feel so much more comfortable with the language, as well as making lessons fun! We are so thankful we found the Atwell's!
