American Sign Language, ASL, is a common language used for deaf communities throughout the United States and Canada. However, this language is often only used by deaf people or people who require communication with someone who is deaf such as a family member. This generally creates a misconception that ASL should only be used for certain groups, making it difficult for deaf people to communicate with others beyond their hearing group. Thus, ASL classes should be offered in school to increase its recognition.
