Established as the first program house at Wesleyan in 1983, Sign Language House exists to promote awareness of Deaf Culture on campus, primarily through the study of American Sign Language (ASL). In addition to serving as a space for students to learn and practice ASL, the house promotes discussion and awareness of ableism, through the lens of deaf culture. Sign Language house also maintains a resource center with a collection of text and video materials on deaf culture and ASL, all of which are available to members of both the Wesleyan and broader Middletown communities.
