SUMMARY:Visual Gestural Communication Workshop
DESCRIPTION:March 30\, 2026 in Bangor\, ME from 9am-12pm \nVisual-Gestural Communication (VGC) is useful to many people who need an alternative technique for expressing and understanding the wants and needs of other people in their environment. VGC is not a language like English\, American Sign Language\, or French. It is a communication mode that uses gestures\, facial expressions\, and body language. Often individuals\, who cannot communicate effectively using either a spoken language like English or a formal signed language like ASL\, will be able to communicate more effectively using natural gestures. In our classes\, we help you to think visually and conceptually\, and to use Visual-Gestural Communication to communicate more effectively with people who have limited formal language. \nFor more information and to register\, please go to the DHHS Staff Education & Training Unit website.
