#WhyISignPTASL with Jasper Norman

Video description:
Jasper (a Latinx male with short dark hair and a goatee, wears a short sleeve black shirt and glasses with red lenses) stands in front of a wood paneled wall, looks into the camera, and shares his story.

Video transcript:
I’m Jasper. My sign name is made with an X handshape and as if you are pulling at your beard on your chin. I’m DeafBlind, Latinx, and live in the state of Washington. I teach protactile American Sign Language. PTASL is important because without it great inequality exists. With PTASL, everyone is on an equal playing field. #WhyISignPTASL
