The Albuquerque Sign Language Academy and ASLA Foundation, in an effort to improve educational and employment outcomes, will relaunch the North Fourth Arts & Workforce Training Center to offer programs specifically designed for adults with disabilities. The Albuquerque Sign Language Academy's (ASLA) K-12 bilingual model incorporates American Sign Language (ASL) and English to serve hearing and deaf students in an inclusive environment. ASLA builds bridges through dual language learning so students, families, and the surrounding community can unite and flourish together. The North Fourth Arts (N4Arts) initiative will build on this model of inclusion and provide a post-secondary option for adults. The ASLA Foundation is continuing the important work of the North Fourth Art Center, formerly a Very Special Arts (VSA) site, including offering all-abilities visual and performing arts classes and workforce training and education programs for adults with disabilities. The ASLA North Fourth Arts & Workforce Training (N4Arts) Initiative will connect adults with disabilities and the greater community - providing a purposeful existence infused with joy, creativity, and a love for learning. At N4Arts, specially designed art and theatre classes will support the greater community and also the unique needs of persons with disabilities in an effort to promote social and emotional wellness, artistic expression, and community involvement for all. Additionally, high school transition students and adults with disabilities will train toward employment though the lens of their abilities in a variety of retail and service businesses.
