American Sign Language is the natural language of deaf individuals. Ameslan should be an integral part of every Total Communication program for the deaf. Through ASL the deaf child can develop into a self-sufficient and proud individual. Ameslan also contributes to the preservation of the deaf community, its heritage, and its culture.
