About Us: Centennial American Sign Language Therapy

Our Story

Founded in 2017, Centennial American Sign Language Therapy (CASLT) was established with a vision to bridge the gap in accessible and reliable information about American Sign Language (ASL) therapy and its benefits. We believe that every individual should have equal opportunities to learn, communicate, and thrive through ASL, regardless of their background or location.

Our journey began as a passion project for our founder, Dr. Emma Johnson, who witnessed firsthand the transformative power of ASL in her work with deaf and hard-of-hearing communities. Recognizing the scarcity of comprehensive online resources, she set out to create a one-stop digital hub dedicated to promoting ASL therapy and its cultural significance.

Over the years, CASLT has achieved several notable milestones:

  1. 2018: Launch of our blog, offering insightful articles on various ASL-related topics.
  2. 2019: Introduction of an online course series for individuals seeking to learn ASL therapy methods.
  3. 2020: Collaboration with renowned ASL experts to create a comprehensive dictionary, expanding our digital library.
  4. 2022: Expansion of our team and the addition of interactive features on the website to enhance user engagement.
