About Us: Lone Tree American Sign Language Therapy

Our Journey

Lone Tree American Sign Language Therapy (LTS) was founded in 2017 with a vision to bridge the communication gap between hearing and deaf or hard-of-hearing communities through the power of American Sign Language (ASL). Inspired by the belief that language is a fundamental human right, we set out to create a comprehensive online resource dedicated to promoting ASL awareness and accessibility.

Our journey began as a passion project for our founder, Sarah Wilson, who has dedicated her life to advocating for the deaf community. Recognizing the challenges faced by individuals seeking quality ASL resources, Sarah established LTS with the goal of becoming a trusted hub for all things related to American Sign Language.

At Lone Tree ASL Therapy, we are committed to:

  • Promoting Inclusivity: Ensuring that ASL resources are accessible to all, fostering a more inclusive society.

Filling the Online Gap

The internet is replete with information, but when it comes to ASL, we identified a critical gap. Many resources available are either too technical for beginners or lack the depth required by advanced learners. Lone Tree ASL Therapy was created to fill this void, offering a user-friendly platform that caters to diverse learning styles and skill levels.
