If there is site on the web it will help a lot.
Or if there is a course in video it will help too.

I have a very comprehensive American Sign Language book, titled: The Comprehensive Signed English Dictionary. I bought it from amazon.com to work with children who are deaf. You can also check with the "ASL University" at www.lifeprint.com. Search under American Sign Language on the internet, and I'm sure there are more than enough sites where you can learn how to sign.

If you put American Sign Language in your web browser you will not only find courses that are available but there is also a web page that can be printed so you can learn it in your own time. Your local library will also have books on it and probably videos. Don't forget it's American Sign Language! Good luck

if you live in Texas then it will be surprisingly easy to learn the language because in Austin is located the School For The Deaf, a nationally known school. you would need to learn a couple hundred words and then just try to commounicate with the actual people, and they will be helpful to teach you the language. otherwise you could go to some sites online that my mom created. she's a teacher for the school.

Just a side note...
Deaf is spelled with a capital D. Deaf folks have a culture, a language etc... Also most persons that are Deaf may not see themselves as having a disability, so putting this in special education seems strange :)

You can check your local library. They usually have CD's and books for ASL. Also check local colleges or a place specializing in help for the hearing impaired such as Bob Rumball--not sure of correct spelling (in Toronto, Canada). They might even be able to hook you up with a deaf person and you both work together on signing. They have someone to talk to and you get to learn.

Most public libraries have "tons" of books on sign language with demonstrations for each sign. You could start with a simple book like "My First Book of Sign Language". It's actually a childrens' book, but it starts with the basics - the alphabet, greetings, and a few words used most often. The demonstrations are clear and easy to understand. You can move on to more complicated signs after learning the basics.

maximum persons not in any respect were given an furnish to study it... the important reason notwithstanding, is that there turned right into a broadly believed delusion, that signing wasn't a authentic language, and/or that researching signlanguage should be undesirable for the deaf individual's language skills and psychological progression.

It is called American Sign Language
I did a quick web search and came up with several different on-line teaching tools.
You might also check your local community college, I took a course through our local college once.
