Our Journey: Empowering Communication through Sign Language

2007 marked the beginning of our journey as Northglenn American Sign Language Therapy (NASLT), born out of a passion to bridge the communication gap within the vibrant community of Northglenn. Our foundation lies in the belief that sign language is not just a mode of communication but a powerful tool for empowerment and connection.

Over the years, NASLT has grown from a humble online resource center to a trusted news website dedicated to promoting American Sign Language (ASL) awareness and accessibility. We take pride in our rich history, which includes:

  • 2010: Launch of our official website, serving as a digital hub for ASL enthusiasts and learners.
  • 2012: Publication of our first in-depth guide on ASL grammar, attracting a dedicated following.
  • 2015: Expansion into community events, organizing annual ASL workshops, and reaching out to diverse audiences.
  • 2018: Collaboration with local schools, implementing ASL clubs, and fostering an early interest in sign language.
