About
ASL Up Network

ASL Up Network is a new nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that every deaf and hard of hearing child has full access to language and literacy from the very start. We believe language equity is a human right and that children thrive when families and professionals work together to create rich, bilingual environments in American Sign Language (ASL) and English.
