The American Sign Language club at ISB aims to create a space for students interested in learning sign language, as well as advocating and raising awareness for the deaf community.

Hi! My name is Sara Landry, I'm currently in grade eleven at ISB and I am one of the co-founders of ISB's American Sign Language Club (ASL) club. One of the main reasons I started this club was because I am a child of a deaf adult (CODA) and I had realized I really wanted to connect and improve communication with my parents more. As I searched for sign language classes in Thailand I realized that there was very little accessibility for sign language in my community. So I decided to start ASL club to raise awareness and also increase access to education on sign language. 

Hello! I'm Wimonsiri (Belle) Liao and I was in 10th grade when Sara and I initiated and started ISB's American Sign Language (ASL) Club. I have always been interested in learning sign language, however, I was intimidated by the task of picking up an entirely new language that utilized a form of communication that was unfamiliar with. Once I heard about Sara's idea - from Sara herself - that she was thinking of introducing an ASL interest group to ISB, I eagerly asked to join in; hoping to learn something new and spread awareness on an important topic. Thus, this was the start of how the club came to be. As I taught myself sign language, specifically ASL, in order to teach others, my interest has only grown since. I glad to have played a part in raising awareness about sign language and its the importance at ISB. 

Hi, My name is Rehaan! I am a current 11th grader and an officer of the ASL club.
