How It All Started
Our Story
One day while touring the missions of San Antonio, we realized we had a mission! To bring quality professional development and support to ASL teachers to wherever the road will take us. We realized each one of us had skills and experience to offer, and when our powers combined, created extensive possibilities to share with the ASL teacher community. A couple of meetings, research, and brainstorming later, a collective was born.
