ASL course helps deaf employees feel understood, included
Akil Bhuiyan, a BOT developer in the Efficiency and Innovation Branch of the Business Process Support Directorate, signs the word “basketball” during the Introduction to ASL class Oct. 22 at DLA Aviation in Richmond, Va. The hand sign for basketball requires both hands extending the thumbs, pointers and middle fingers while tucking in the remaining fingers, then bring the hands about face height and tilt the ball back and forth twice.
