An excellent source for information about American Sign Language is the Visual Language and Visual Learning website, An NSF Science of Learning Center.

This web site has been developed as a partnership between the University of Colorado Boulder/Marion Downs Center and Hands & Voices. These pages contain research and information for researchers, practicing audiologists, teachers of the deaf, speech/language pathologists and early intervention providers providing services to families and children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Research information on the auditory skills, speech, language, cognitive, and social-emotional development of infants and children who are deaf or hard of hearing will be provided on this website.

Hands & Voices and the Marion Downs Center Research team are proud to be co-partnering on this web site and working in collaboration to provide research and information that assists all those interested in assisting deaf and hard of hearing children and their families. Hands & Voices is a national non-profit parent-driven organization that provides communication-unbiased information, educational advocacy, parent-mentoring and much more to families with children who are deaf or hard of hearing, and to the professionals who serve them. www.handsandvoices.org
