We have a deaf individual in one of our residences at work and we just started a 10 week ASL training for all of the staff and his wife. The first class was this past wednesday and based on the feedback I received from everyone, including the individual and the trainer, I may take the course the next time I set it up. I love that the first class focused on the individual, his needs, and the culture of the deaf community, which is so important for the staff to know. I don't think I have ever seen a staff member so excited about training.
