Who we are

Visually Speaking is an innovative leader in teaching American Sign Language! Founded in 2002 in Seattle, Washington, Visually Speaking was one of the first companies to teach Baby Signing classes in the Puget Sound. Due to popular demand, we soon expanded our offerings to include toddlers, pre-school, and school-aged children. We are excited to have recently expanded our course offerings for adults to include more ASL 1 and 2 classes, as well as private lessons and immersive experiences. Visually Speaking is a DeafQueer owned and operated business with a special interest in spreading American Sign Language to all ages: from birth through adulthood. Combined, Visually Speaking Instructors hold many professional titles such as Deaf ASL users, Parents of Deaf Children, Certified ASL Interpreters, Early Childhood Educators, Certified Teachers, Children of Deaf Adults (CODA) and Advocates. Visually Speaking has taught thousands of families in Washington State and has been invited to teach at local community colleges, birthing centers, support groups, pre-schools, elementary schools, as well as state and national conferences. All Visually Speaking Instructors are fluent in ASL with a minimum of two-years ASL education and extensive knowledge of Deaf Culture.

Whether you are a parent looking to communicate with your infant, a teen looking to learn a new language, or an adult looking to learn how to communicate with Deaf peers: we are happy to offer a wide range of course options to meet your goals.
